UNIQUE CREEK HOMESTEAD SEEDS: All of our seeds are grown right here on our Unique Creek Homestead and not sourced from elsewhere. All seeds are collected each growing season and are 1-year old or less, stored in air-tight Mason jars. Seeds are harvested and labeled for storage each season, one plant/seed type at a time so seeds do not get mixed by accident during the process! The seeds we use at the start of each growing season come from the exact same seeds we sell.

OUR GUARANTEE: You will ALWAYS receive more seeds than what you order, as I always include extras. If you are unhappy with your order for any reason, please message us KINDLY with your issue.

Organically Grown Melon Seeds
Plant cantaloupe in an area with warm soil (70°F+) and plenty of sun. Cantaloupes are sprawlers, so plant them 36 to 42 inches apart in fertile, well-drained soil. Growing cantaloupes require a lot of nutrients, so it's best to improve your soil by mixing in several inches of compost or other rich organic matter.

Planting Cantaloupe Seeds Outdoors

Sow the seeds at a depth of 1/2 to 1 inch and 1 foot apart in rows spaced 5 feet apart to accommodate the vines' mature spread. Keep the soil evenly moist but not sopping wet and watch for sprouts in a week or two if soil temperatures stay above 70 degrees Fahrenheit.


Do cantaloupe plants climb?

Reduce chances for pests and disease

Once fruits have formed, raise them up off the ground with melon cradles or pots; this increases air circulation and helps with rot and insects. Grow cantaloupe vertically; they love to climb.
