Usually sown in groups (hills) of 3-5 seeds and thinned to the 2 strongest plants per group. Can be started indoors four weeks earlier. Water regularly and fertilize when lateral runners begin to spread. Harvest: When underside turns from white to yellowish. Also, thump the melon; a dull, hollow sound indicates ripeness.
