Why Choose Hale's Best Jumbo Cantaloupe?

Each packet contains 30 seeds - enough to plant 10 mounds and grow 10 productive plants. These cantaloupes mature in just 80 days, giving you a quicker harvest than many other varieties.

Easy Planting & Care Instructions

Sow your Hale's Best Jumbo Cantaloupe Seeds directly in the garden after the last frost. Create 10" high mounds of well-drained soil, planting 3 seeds per mound. Thin to the strongest seedling once established. For continuous harvest, plant a second crop in late summer.

These fast-growing vines can spread 3-6 feet, but adapt well to trellises in small spaces. Just provide support for developing fruits with stretchy nets when they reach baseball size. For larger melons, limit each vine to 2-3 fruits. Keep plants well-watered and mulch around the base to conserve moisture and suppress weeds.

Harvesting Your Bountiful Crop

Your cantaloupes are ready when the rind turns from green to yellowish-orange and develops a sweet, musky fragrance. The stem should detach easily with gentle pressure. Enjoy them fresh at peak ripeness for maximum flavor and nutrition.

What's the difference between a cantaloupe and a muskmelon? Cantaloupe is a type of muskmelon. Muskmelon is a broad category that includes other melon varieties. Cantaloupe refers to a specific type of muskmelon with a netted rind and sweet orange flesh. So basically, all cantaloupes are muskmelons, but not all muskmelons are cantaloupes.
