Sowing Instructions

DIRECT SOW 1-2 WEEKS AFTER DANGER OF LAST FROST

Starting Indoors

2-4 WEEKS BEFORE LAST FROST IN BIO-DEGRADABLE POTS

Growing Tips

Hale's Best Jumbo Cantaloupe is a favorite of most gardeners. If you are planting directly in the garden, wait at least a week or two after last frost.

Hill planting works best, you can place up to 6 seeds per hill and thin to the best 3 plants per hill after they get established. If starting indoors, these melons will need to be started in peat pots as they do not transplant well.

Use mulch around the plants once transplanted or once seedlings sprout in the garden. This keeps the soil moist, warm and helps to suppress weed growth.

Culinary Uses

Commonly served cut or balled, great on a hot summer day.

Harvesting Crops

Wait until the harvest date approaches, your cantaloupe should turn a yellowish orange color. Check the end where the stem attaches to see if it is just slightly soft (if so, it's ready for harvest).

When the melons are ripe and ready to pick, they should come off the stem quite easily. Melons will need harvested daily once they begin to ripen. Make sure to refrigerate the melons immediately after harvesting.

Harvesting Seed

Harvest your seeds from the best performing melons. Wash the seeds off and allow to dry in a paper bag for a few weeks. Once completely dried, safely store your seeds in a cool dry place for use next season.

Lab tested. Lab approved. WAY too expensive.
Size: 3.8 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: Sweet Potato, Ring
My dog likes these. But they don't really last all that long. And the package only included 5-6 rings. So that's an expensive treat, when I can get a bag of 40 dental treats (5" sticks) for the same price. Would I buy these again? No

I've got a picky dog. He likes what he likes. He liked them at first but then lost interest.

Small ingredient list -- BIG taste!
Size: 3.8 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: Sweet Potato, Ring
This snack is tasty, given its simple formula of sweet potatoes, turkey, coconut, and soy protein isolate. The bag arrived at the house, and the girls were instantly ready for the latest and newest snack. There were four treats total in my bag - one for each baby. The smallest one (20 lbs), ironically, disappeared her treat faster than her three larger siblings (40 lbs). The bigger dogs savored their treats with smelling, licking, tasting, and chomping with elation on these tasty new treats. These chewies satisfy your girls between meals, which I noticed by them not bugging me for food hours before dinner. These seemed to do the trick and hold them over. A great appetizer, in my opinion.

My dog absolutely loves these treats
Size: 3.8 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: Sweet Potato, Ring
These turkey + sweet potato treats are a hit with my dog. Likes: - Good size. Substantial enough to be classified as a "special treat". - Good ingredients and nutrition. - Zero issues with digestion. - Arrived fresh and in great condition. - Good value. Dislikes: - Like most treats, they don't last that long. They are no bully stick--they go faster. Overall my dog loves these treats!

Natural healthy dog treats.
Size: 3.8 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: Sweet Potato, Ring
Our dog loves these treats. They're also not filled with the junk like in other treats. These are one maybe 2 ingredients only. Better for our pup.
