Harvesting: Melons can be easily harvested once they reach maturity. For more sweetness and a better flavor, stop or reduce watering a week before harvesting. 

  1. Prepare a soil bed in your garden. Sow 1-2 seeds in 1-2 cm deep holes located 60 cm apart.  Cover it with a thin layer of soil and spray water gently, making sure the soil is moist.
