The best time to plant melon seeds is when the soil has warmed up to at least 60°F and there is no longer a risk of frost. This is typically in late spring or early summer, depending on your location.
It's recommended to plant melon seeds directly into the ground or into containers, rather than starting them indoors and then transplanting them.
Plant your melon seeds in a sunny, well-drained location in your garden or a container with good drainage holes. Create mounds or rows about 6-8 feet apart (depending on the variety of melon) and plant the seeds about 1 inch deep and 3 inches apart. Thin seedlings to 12-24 inches apart.
As the plants grow, make sure to water them regularly and fertilize them every 2-3 weeks with a balanced fertilizer. Once the fruits start to develop, it's important to keep the area around the plants weed-free and to provide support for the melons as they grow, using trellises or mesh netting.
Sustainable Living - Vegetable gardening is an essential foundation of a more self-sufficient lifestyle. Homegrown fruits and vegetables are generally more flavorful and nutritious than store-bought.
Easy to Grow - Seeds are packed in a beautiful paper packet with instructions for successful growing and germination in your own home garden. Each package also has instructions for saving seeds after harvest. Getting started is simple for both beginner and experienced gardeners.
Quality Seeds - Plant now or store for future growing seasons. These seeds will remain viable for years if stored in a cool dry location. Our safe, non-hybrid non-GMO heirloom seeds are always open-pollinated, naturally grown, untreated, and selected to ensure the best germination rates
Heirloom seeds are the types of seeds your grandparents grew. These varieties have been passed down from generation to generation. They’re old reliable open-pollinated varieties that aren’t typically grown commercially. Instead, they have a rich history that predates modern breeding techniques.
You can learn more about open-pollinated, heirloom, and non-GMO seeds in our Survival Garden Training blog.
The majority of our seeds are sourced in the United States, with a few exceptions when the seed is difficult to source domestically. Whenever we do have to source outside of the US, we ensure our seeds are safe to grow, non-GMO varieties that meet our standards for germination and reliability.
No, we do not pre-treat our farmer seeds. All of our garden seeds for sale are untreated, open-pollinated, non-GMO, and heirloom varieties. They are kept in temperature-controlled cooler storage until they are packed and shipped to keep them pest and disease-free.
The seeds in our collections are specifically chosen from varieties that can be successfully grown from Zone 3 to Zone 10 USDA Hardiness Zones. However, individual varieties have specific needs to thrive in different environments. Each seed pack has optimal temperatures for germination and instructions on seed starting. Consult local frost dates to plan your garden and get the most out of your seeds.
Our seeds will generally last for 3-10 years if they are appropriately stored in a cool, dry place. However, we encourage you to grow your survival seeds within a year or two of purchase. This yields the best germination rates possible and also gives you more experience growing survival food now. At the end of the growing season, follow the instructions on the back of each packet for saving seeds for future gardens. These new seeds for survival will be more adapted to thrive in the growing conditions where you are.
