Description
Hearts of Gold tastes as sweet as it smells. Its 6″ diameter globe features fine-grained, dark orange flesh and a small seed cavity. Perfect for one or two people.
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.
