Melon "Retato degli ortolani".
A classic Italian cantaloupe-type melon.
An annual plant of the pumpkin family. Warm, light and moisture-loving. The optimal temperature for the growth and development of melon is +25+35°C. It is grown only through seedlings, which require 12 hours of daylight and a temperature of +25°C, and is subsequently grown in closed ground or on heated beds. After planting the seedlings in a permanent place, the plant is formed: the main shoot is shortened over the 2-3rd leaf, the side shoots - over the 6th. Two leaves are left above the ovary the size of a walnut. Non-fruiting canes are removed. The fruits are placed in a net or stocking and tied to a support. Melons are harvested in late summer or early autumn. At temperatures below +15°C, plant growth stops. Does not tolerate frost. Seed sowing depth - 2 cm. Distance between plants - 50 cm. Distance between rows - 50 cm.
Sowing seedlings: March-April.
Planting seedlings: May-June.
Cleaning: August-September.
