Juicy cantaloupe melons are typically grown from seed, started indoors or directly in the bed. In mild coastal U.S. Department of Agriculture hardiness zone 9, for example, cantaloupe is sown indoors in late March for transplanting in early May. Saving your own seed from fresh melons allows you to grow your favorite variety, but you must prepare the seed for saving in the fall and store it until the spring planting day. Starting cantaloupe indoors also requires careful preparation to prevent root damage during transplanting.
Cantaloupe and honeydew melons thrive in warm soil. Donât plant until the ground temperature is above 70 degrees F, which typically occurs about the time peonies bloom in northern zones. Prior to planting, cover soil with plastic film to hasten soil warming.
