Notes
'Lambkin F1' melon (Cucumis melo 'Lambkin F1') 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. Bees visit its flowers from early to late summer. The vines grow at a moderate pace, so give them a sturdy support to climb.
Pairs well with Butternut Waltham squash, Long Island Mammoth dill, and Giant of Italy parsley.
