Notes
'Honey Rock' cantaloupe (Cucumis melo 'Honey Rock') is a climbing vegetable for food gardens 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. It blooms from early to late summer, and bees visit the flowers. Give the vines a trellis or room to climb and spread.
Pairs well with Pesto Perpetuo basil, Teddy dill, and Carbon tomato.
