Melon 'Golden Orb'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that Golden Orb is thought of as hardy, so this plant will survive close to or on freezing temperatures. Golden Orb 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 Golden Orb about 14 days before your last frost date.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Golden Orb is a hardy plant.
