These fruits love warm weather, so they’re perfect for growing in the summer. The seeds sprout best when it’s not too hot or too cold, usually from November to February.<\/p>\n

Growing<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Once your muskmelons start growing, add some compost or natural fertilizers to keep them healthy. To make the fruits extra sweet, you can spray a mixture of Epsom salt and borax on the vines.<\/p>\n

Caring<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Taking care of muskmelons is simple. Keep an eye out for pests, and if you see any, use soap solutions or homemade neemastra to protect your plants.<\/p>\n
