Yes, there are many different types of melons, such as cantaloupe, watermelons, Galia melons, and honeydew melons. Each variety has its own specific characteristics, flavor, and growing time.
Watermelons are larger, have a higher water content, and a crunchy texture. Other melons, such as cantaloupe, have firmer flesh and are generally sweeter.
Because of their need for warmth, it's recommended to sow melons indoors in a heated seed tray. Sow in small pots from mid-April to mid-May. Ensure a constant, warm temperature of around 20-22°C.
Sow the seeds about 1.5 cm deep.
Wait to plant out until after the Ice Saints (mid-May) and when there is no longer any risk of night frost. Harden off the plants first by placing them outside during the day.
Melon plants are climbers or creepers. Provide sufficient space. For climbers, a distance of 60-90 cm between plants is sufficient.
Indicators of ripeness include a change in skin color, the development of a yellow ground spot, and a stronger aroma.
