Consejos de cultivo
Harvest at 'full slip' when the melon separates cleanly from the vine with gentle pressure; this indicates peak sugar content.
Reduce irrigation as fruit approaches maturity to concentrate sugars and improve flavor; wet conditions at harvest promote cracking.
Use black plastic mulch to warm soil, suppress weeds, and keep fruit clean, especially in shorter-season climates.
