Melons require heat to produce sweet fruits so using black plastic mulch on top of the soil can help speed up warmer soil conditions. Their roots will grow to a depth of 3-feet if the soil is good, so water slowly and deeply. Leaves often wilt in the middle of the day during hot spells, but check the soil for moisture below the surface.

Legendary in Provence, France, for its superb, gourmet flavor. The dense aromatic flesh is extremely sweet and has been rated the most flavorful from an independant taste panel.
