Cucumis, Cantaloupe 'Minnesota Midget' Heirloom

Description

An extra-early variety with round, 3-4″ fruits featuring thick, sweet, golden flesh. Their sweet scent will tell you when they are ripe.

Cantaloupe prefers a warm, sunny location with fertile soil. Sow outdoors in spring two weeks after last frost when soil has completely warmed. Start indoors three weeks before last spring frost date. Do not disturb tender roots when transplanting. Water consistently. Harvest when the stems slip easily from the fruit and melons have a sweet, fruity scent.
