Germination: 85%
Test Date: 11/23
Plant seeds directly in the garden. Plant the seeds 1 when soil has warmed up. The seeds may rot and not sprout if the soil is too cool. Germination is improved when soil temperature is above 60 F. Plant the seeds in hills. Plants grow 1 ft tall and vines spread up to 10 ft.
Requires fertile slightly acid soil in a well drained location in the garden. Apply much and grass clippings, or straw around base of plant.
Water well during dry and hot spells. Make sure plants get 1" water per week.
Use RootBlast, Vegetable Alive, and Slow Release Fertilizer when transplanting outdoors. Periodically apply Miracle Gro.
Protect ripening melons from damp ground by placing them on boards. Cut melons carefully from plants to prevent damaging the vines.

Minnesota Midget is the only melon we have found that reliably matures here in northern Nevada where nights are cool and growing seasons are unpredictable. We like the small size, perfect for two. Was glad to find Midgets at Reimer Seeds. Jan D, Nevada

Have continued to grow these melons at the base of the Bearlodge Mountains in 2012. Seeds emerged from the winter and survived a 26 F nights and are growing strong!
