About Cantaloupe Honey Dew Melon Cultivation:
Plant in late spring after the soil has warmed. Place two seeds together 1/2" deep and 24" apart in rows or six seed per hill. Thin hills to three strongest seedlings. Provide adequate water during dry weather. Melons are ready to pick when the gray-green color turns to a buff-yellow and can be seperated from the vine with slight thumb pressure.

Jenny Lind 70-85 Days.Named for the Swedish opera singer, this melon was once one of the leading early green-fleshed varieties for home and market.
