Notes
'D'Artagnan' melon (Cucumis melo 'D'Artagnan') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and cottage gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, loamy or clay soil. The climbing vines bloom from early to late summer and draw bees and butterflies. Fruit ripens about 71 days after planting.
Pairs well with Pesto Perpetuo basil, Fern Leaf dill, and Brad's Atomic Grape Tomato tomato.
