Full sun and fertile, well-drained soil produce the sweetest fruit. Grows as an annual in USDA zones 4–11. Harvest Ready about 80–90 days from sowing. Pick when the skin turns fully bright yellow; unlike cantaloupe, the fruit does not slip, so cut it from the vine. Benefits & uses Delicious fresh, in fruit salads, or paired with citrus and mint.
