When is the best time to sow melon seeds?
Melon requires warmth and light, neutral or slightly alkaline, breathable, moderately dry soil and dry air.
When growing, regular ventilation of the greenhouse, systematic loosening of the soil, and moderate fertilizing with a weak solution of mineral fertilizers will be required.
Melons are usually grown in the same greenhouse with tomatoes or peppers, but not with cucumbers.
Melon can be sown with dry seeds directly into the soil at a depth of 3 cm. The seeds can also be soaked, which will help them germinate faster.
For seed germination, a temperature of at least +20+25°C and soil warmed to a depth of 10 cm to a temperature of +15+16°C are required.
Sow seeds no later than June 10, otherwise the fruits will not have time to ripen.
Melons can be sown in a greenhouse on May 15th in insulated soil. Seedlings appear in 10-14 days.
Seeds soaked at a temperature of +25°C can germinate as early as the fourth day.
