How to plant, grow potted melons and their care
1. Selecting Melon Varieties:
Choose bush-type or compact varieties suitable for containers like ‘Sugar Baby’ watermelon or ‘Minnesota Midget’ cantaloupe.
2. Choosing Containers:
Opt for large containers with drainage holes, such as half-barrels or grow bags, and place them in sunny locations.
3. Preparing Potting Mix:
Use well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter, avoiding heavy soils.
4. Planting Melon Seeds or Seedlings:
Start seeds indoors before the last frost. Transplant seedlings into containers once they have true leaves and frost danger has passed.
5. Spacing and Depth:
Plant seedlings 12-18 inches apart at the same depth as their original containers.
6. Watering Melons:
Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, watering deeply to reach the root zone. Mulch to retain moisture.
7. Providing Support:
Use trellises or stakes to support vines and save space. Train vines vertically if space is limited.
8. Fertilizing Melons:
Feed with a balanced fertilizer high in potassium and phosphorus, following instructions to avoid overfertilizing.
9. Pollination:
Attract pollinators like bees or hand-pollinate by transferring pollen between flowers.
10. Harvesting Melons:
Harvest when fully mature with characteristic color and aroma. Use a knife or shears to cut from the vine, leaving a short stem.
By following these steps, you can grow delicious melons in containers and enjoy homegrown sweetness all summer!
