Notes
'Melemon F1' melon (Cucumis melo 'Melemon F1') is a climbing vegetable for food gardens and cottage gardens. 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 the flowers from early to late summer, and the vines grow at a moderate pace.
Pairs well with Butternut Waltham squash, Long Island Mammoth dill, and Mushroom Basket Tomato tomato.
