Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Sow seeds directly into the soil, 1 inch deep, once frost danger has passed, spacing them 24 to 36 inches apart. Keep soil consistently moist, especially during the 7 to 10 day germination period. Once seedlings emerge, thin to 18 to 24 inches apart. Mulch to retain moisture, fertilize every 4 to 6 weeks, and watch for pests. Harvest when melons are fragrant, the stem starts slipping, and the rind turns yellow. Cut from the vine and savor the sweet Hales Best Jumbo cantaloupe melons.
