How to Grow Heirloom Melons, Watermelons, Rhubarb, and Ground Cherries
- Start rhubarb indoors 8-10 weeks before last frost; direct sow or transplant melons and watermelons after all frost danger has passed
- Melons and watermelons need full sun and warm soil, so wait until temperatures are reliably above 60 degrees F
- Space vining melons and watermelons 3-6 feet apart; ground cherries can be treated like tomatoes and staked
- Victoria rhubarb is a perennial and will return each spring after its first year
- Days to maturity range from roughly 70 days for melons to 90-plus days for larger watermelons
Where These Fruits Grow Best
- In-ground garden beds with room for vining crops work best for melons and watermelons
- Ground cherries and rhubarb adapt well to raised beds
- Sugar Baby watermelon is a good fit for smaller plots due to its compact fruit size
- Full sun is essential for all varieties in this collection
Harvesting Your Heirloom Fruit Collection
Harvest rhubarb stalks in spring, watch melons and watermelons through summer for signs of ripeness like sweet aroma and a dried tendril near the stem, and pick ground cherries when the papery husk turns tan and the fruit drops easily. Saving seeds from these open-pollinated varieties is straightforward and will give you true-to-type plants next season.
