Savor melon - tips for growing

tam91 · March 20, 2015

I've never grown melons - decided to try the Savor melon this year.

I can't seem to find any information on how long the vines are? Trying to plan space. It doesn't look like they are too long, but I'm not sure

I read somewhere you could trellis them. Has anyone tried this?

Sounds like I should start them indoors around the end of April - I am guessing they wouldn't like to go outside here (Chicago area) until near the end of May...

Also, it says to germinate them at 90 degrees. I have heat mats, but not sure they would take it up to 90 degrees.... any ideas?
