Notes
'Golden Delight' cantaloupe (Cucumis melo 'Golden Delight') is a climbing vegetable for the cottage garden and the food garden. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, loamy or clay soil. Bees visit its flowers from early to late summer, and it grows at a moderate pace.
Pairs well with Dukat dill, Common Chamomile German chamomile, and German Pink Tomato tomato.
