Melon 'Canary'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that Canary is thought of as hardy, so this plant will survive close to or on freezing temperatures. Planting Canary in potting mix and loamy soil with a ph of between 6.1 and 7.5 is ideal for as it does best in weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil.

Sow 0.5 inches (1.27 cm) deep with a guideline distance of 1.88 feet (58.0 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 21°C / 70°F to ensure good germination.

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

As Canary is hardy, ensure temperatures are mild enough to plant out - wait until after your last frost date to be on the safe side.
