Melon 'Tigger'

Do not give extra water while fruit is ripening

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that Tigger is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. Tigger needs a potting mix and loamy soil with a ph of 6.1 to 7.5 (weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil).

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 1.88 feet (58.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.5 inches (1.27 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 21°C / 70°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Tigger about 14 days before your last frost date.

Do not allow to become rootbound before transplanting

Ensure that temperatures are mild (minimum night temperatures should be around 18°C / 64°F) and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Tigger is a tender plant.

This variety tends to be ready for harvesting by mid summer.
