Cantaloupe melons often range between 1-11 pounds in weight, and share many of the same growing preferences as other melons. As they require a long growing season, melons are best started indoors approximately 3 weeks prior to the last frost of the season.
Melon seeds germinate optimally between 70 and 90 degrees F but can be sown when the soil temperature is above 65 degrees F. Planting in cooler soil favors soil borne root diseases which can decimate or stunt melons which are cold intolerant. An average planting date is a week to 10 days before the historic frost free date.
Melons prefer hot, sunny locations with fertile, well drained soils, and can be either transplanted or direct seeded. Transplanting can add 2 to 4 weeks to the growing season, but melons are particularly sensitive to root disturbance and growth will be retarded if transplants are not properly managed.

***just to be perfectly clear, the first pic is just a goofy pic i got from googling. in no way, shape, or form will these seeds produce anything remotely similar to the first pic!

~~~as always, i will be adding a BONUS to this listing some time after bidding begins.~~~
