Start melon seeds indoors 3-4 weeks before your last frost date to avoid plants becoming root-bound, as melons are sensitive to transplanting stress. In regions with a longer growing season, seeds can also be direct-sown outdoors after the risk of frost has passed.

Sow seeds about 1 inch (2.5 cm) deep and cover lightly with soil, keeping it consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs in 5-15 days. Transplant seedlings outdoors in a sunny location after the frost risk has passed, spacing plants 2-3 feet (60-90 cm) apart, with 4-6 feet (120-180 cm) between rows to allow room for vine growth.
