WEST COAST SEEDS MELONS CANTALOUPE EARLICHAMP

  • This melon is very similar to the popular Earligold cantaloupe, with its slight sutures and heavy netting.
  • The fruit from EarliChamp cantaloupe seeds are larger and heavier, and the plant has an improved array of disease resistance – Powdery Mildew Resistance, Fusarium Wilt Resistance races 0 & 2.
  • Best of all, the thick orange flesh is wonderfully sweet with a Brix rating of 12-14%… Sweet!
  • Start EarliChamp seeds indoors near the end of April in coastal gardens, and transplant only when the soil is warm at the end of May or even in June. Provide any extra heat you can, and grow in full sun in highly fertile soil.
  • Matures in 72 days. (Hybrid seeds)

    Growing Melons

  • It is essential to start seeds indoors or in a greenhouse 4-6 weeks after the last frost date. Transplant when the plants are 5 weeks old. Optimal soil temperature for germination: 20-25°C (68-77°F). Seeds should sprout in 5-10 days.
  • Fruit will ripen in late August to early September. Ripe cantaloupe will easily detach from the vine when light finger pressure is applied to the stem. Watermelon is ripe when the tendril nearest to the fruit withers and dries up.


    Companion Planting For Melons

  • Melons are great companions for corn, marigolds, nasturtiums, pumpkin, radish, squash, and sunflowers.
  • Avoid planting near potatoes.
