When to plant honeysuckle

Honeydew melon is usually planted in March and April in spring, because the temperature gradually rises and the light is sufficient, so it grows faster after planting. It can also be planted in November in autumn, when the temperature is more favorable for seed germination.

Honeydew melon can be harvested about two months after planting. If it is planted in spring, it will generally mature around May-June. It requires good fertilizer and water management, as well as sunlight exposure during maintenance. Its yield is relatively large after maturity, so the profit after it is put on the market is very high.

Planting methods and key points of honeysuckle

1. Seed selection and processing: When planting honeydew melon, you need to choose varieties that are not prone to deformity and skin cracking. It needs to be germinated before planting. It needs to be soaked in warm water for about 20 minutes, then soaked with a clean cloth, wrapped, and placed in a constant temperature box for germination.

2. Prepare the soil: When planting honeydew melon, you need to use loose, fertile, well-drained soil. You can mix river sand and humus grass, and add some vermiculite and soil appropriately.

3. Sowing and seedling raising: After processing the honeysuckle seeds, you can sow them. You can use the broadcasting method. You need to sow 1-2 seeds in each small hole, then cover the soil, and water it to keep the soil moist.
