Plant 1″-2″ deep, in rows 6′-8′ foot apart. Thin or transplant to a spacing of 2′-3′. Water at base of the plant every 10-14 days until melons reach softball size, moving water further from the plant at that point to protect the melons. As the melons mature, cut back watering further to increase sugar content.
