Why You’ll Love Charentais-French Cantaloupe
- Legendary flavor: bright orange, ultra-sweet flesh with an intoxicating perfume.
- Market-size fruit: classic 2–3 lb, smooth gray-green rind with dark sutures; perfect “icebox” halves.
- Early, reliable harvest: typically ready in 70–90 days in warm conditions.
- Compact plants: great for beds, raised beds, and small market plots.
🌱 Quick “Sow & Grow” Guide
- When to plant: sow after frost once soil is warm (≥65–70°F). In cool regions, start indoors 2–3 weeks early and transplant gently at 2–3 true leaves.
- Depth & spacing: sow 1/2" deep; space plants 18–24" apart in rows 5–6 ft apart, or 2–3 plants per hill spaced 6–8 ft.
- Germination: about 7–14 days in warm soil.
- Sun & soil: full sun; fertile, well-drained soil. Mulch to warm soil and hold moisture.
- Care: water at the base; feed at vine-run and fruit set. Encourage pollinators by avoiding insecticides during bloom.
- Harvest signs: strong aroma, rind “warms” toward yellow, nearest tendril browns; pick at 3/4–full slip for peak flavor.
