Notes
'Tejen Giand Melon' melon (Cucumis melo 'Tejen Giand Melon') is a vegetable for the food garden, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, loamy or clay soil. Its fragrant flowers open in early to late summer and attract butterflies and bees. The vines can climb tall, so give them plenty of room.
Pairs well with Borage, Nasturtium, African marigold, and Oregano.
