Cantaloupes are warm-season crops that have a sweet and orange flesh. Germinating the seeds indoors protects them from diseases and insects until they become established. Cantaloupes do not tolerate a disturbance to the root system, so they need to be germinated in biodegradable peat pots. Once the soil warms outdoors, the cantaloupe seedlings can be safely transplanted into a home garden. Cantaloupes grow best in U.S. Department of Agriculture Hardiness zones 4 through 10.
