Melon is a sweet and fragrant fruit that is not difficult to grow on your own. In the article, we will talk about the features of caring for and growing fruit.
Seeding and soil
Melon is best grown in seedlings.
The melon does not tolerate transplanting very well, therefore it is best to use peat cups for growing its seedlings, which quickly crumble when planted on the garden bed, turning into additional fertilizer.
Sowing begins in mid-April. Seeds are pre-disinfected in an aqueous solution of potassium permanganate, then dried and planted in individual peat pots or plastic cups.
Melons prefer light and nutritious soil from a mixture of garden soil with humus.
Care
Melon care includes regular watering, fertilizing and pruning. To maintain productivity, the melon needs the timely removal of all side shoots and the fatigue of the main shoots.
In addition, the melon should be regularly fertilized with mineral and organic products.
