HONEY ROCK CANTALOUPE 80 day, Germ. 85% Deep salmon flesh with sugar sweet flavor. A very popular variety. Planting Instructions for Cantaloupe Seeds Heirloom / Open Pollinated Cantaloupe are heat loving plants that prefer well drained loose soil and an even amount of water. Plant Cantaloupe in rows or hills but make sure the soil is well warmed. In the North it helps to start seeds indoors 2-3 wks. before last frost. Plant Cantaloupe seeds ½" deep in full sun. For rows plant 3-4" apart, in rows 6-10' apart. For hills plant 4-6 seeds per hill, with hills 2-3' apart. Germination occurs in 3-10 days in soil 70-85°F. In hills thin to 2 Cantaloupe plants per hill. Harvest when fruit easily slips from the vine, or smells very sweet and fragrant at the blossom end. Heirloom Honeydew does not slip from the vine, the melon must be cut from the vine. Cantaloupe is an excellent source of Vitamins A, B6 and C, and the mineral potassium. It's also a very good source of dietary fiber, folate, niacin, pantothenic acid, and thiamine. The cantaloupe extract oxykine is rich in superoxide dismutase (SOD), and studies have concluded that cantaloupe SOD extract promotes cellular antioxidant activity and protects against oxidative stress-induced cell death.
