Direct seed sowing should occur only after all danger of frost has passed and once the temperature is consistently 68°F.  Seeds should be planted in groups of two to three at a depth of approximately 1/2-1".

Space plants at least 35 inches apart. It’s a good idea to include a strong trellis or other climbing support at this time, so new seedlings will have something to climb once they sprout.

Be sure to water the soil well after planting new kiwano melon seeds. Then keep the soil lightly moist until germination occurs in approximately 1-2 weeks. Be aware that temperatures below 68°F will delay germination. 

Gardening for happiness!
