The appearance of the True Love F1 Melon is distinctive, with vigorous vines producing medium-sized fruits.

Adequate spacing and support for the vines are necessary for healthy growth and fruit development. Planting in a location with full sun exposure ensures the optimal sweetness and flavor of the fruits.

When it comes to harvesting, it is essential to wait until the melons are fully ripe. This is typically indicated by the golden color of the skin and a sweet aroma. Melons can be gently twisted from the vine or cut with a clean knife for harvesting.

Planting & Care

Soil and Water: Plant melons in mounds of moderately rich, well-drained soils with plenty of phosphorous and potassium and a pH of 6.0-6.8. For flavorful fruits, melons need moderate water as seedlings, low water before transplanting, moderate water during growth and low water during fruit development.

Planting and Growing: Start seeds indoors 2-3 weeks before the last frost or seed directly after the last frost. Melons need plentiful heat to develop; use plastic mulch and row covers in cooler climates.

Harvesting & Storage: Melons are ripe when the rind changes color to yellow and gentle pressure separates the stem from the vine. Melons can store in the refrigerator for about a week.
