Experience the joy of growing your own delicious, sun-ripened cantaloupes with Hale's Best Jumbo Cantaloupe Seeds. This early-maturing heirloom variety produces oval, ribbed melons with a sweet, musky flavor and irresistible aroma. Perfect for home gardens, these hardy seeds thrive in all regions and offer better drought tolerance than other melon varieties.
Our open-pollinated, non-GMO seeds grow into vigorous vines that yield beautiful tan-skinned melons with vibrant orange flesh. 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.
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.
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.
Hale's Best Jumbo Cantaloupe offers more than incredible taste - it's packed with health benefits too! This hydrating fruit contains 90% water along with beta-carotene, vitamin A, vitamin C, potassium, and fiber. Enjoy the sweet orange flesh in breakfast bowls, fruit salads, or as refreshing snacks. Don't discard the seeds - roast them for a nutritious, fiber-rich treat!
Start your cantaloupe-growing adventure today! With proper care, these productive vines will reward you with abundant harvests of the sweetest, most aromatic melons you've ever tasted.
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.
I grew these last year, they rambled around our vegetable garden. We had several melons from the two plants, they were quite sweet and delicious. Will grow again.

Germination for nearly all of my varieties was 3-5 days (95% - 100% success rate). My varieties include: Red Ghost, Carolina Reaper, Trinidad Scorpion, Devils Tongue, Cayenne Ring of Fire, Habenero Red, Yellow Jamaican, Paprika Numex, and Bolivian Rainbow. Another thing that I really appreciated is that each packet seemed to contain 20% more seeds than indicated (each 10 seed pack contained 12 seeds) - Not sure if that is standard but it was a nice bonus.
One of the best cherry tomatoes you'll ever eat!
I've found that when you combine roasted carrots, habaneros, lime juice and garlic, it will make the best hot sauce of your life. I think it's the sweetness and depth of the carrots that make the sauce even better, and pairs perfectly with the habanero heat. I got the inspiration from one of my favorite store-bought hot sauces, Marie Sharp's Habanero hot sauce. Sometimes I add some of your Chef's orange tomatoes too to make more of it, and they also give more flavor to the hot sauce and help tame the heat a bit. I grow these in my garden every year along with your orange habaneros, orange tomatoes and other hot peppers and veggies. Very reliable.
These fabulous peppers added lots of color to our patio pots. So pretty in multiple colors, plus you can pick them and add to salsa for a nice spicy kick. These are fun in any ornamental edible garden.
We let these hang dry, then ground them up – they made the tastiest pepper flakes. They have a nice kick, but good flavor too. Easy to grow plants, pretty peppers.
Great seeds, good germination, plants grow quickly and produce lots of pods for roasting. Great flavor and just the right amount of spice. We grow these every year in our garden in Utah.
These are so beautiful, tasty, and meaty. They make a great pico-de-gallo!
These were so big, one tomato can make a nice big bowl of salsa. They do have amazing flavor and color.
These were so tasty and very productive. Great for salsa.
I tried these purple Cherokee seeds on 2024. This is the first time growing these purple Cherokees and were amazed at the ease of germination and taste
These germinated in two days. I started them in midsummer and they fruited by late fall in my zone 10b garden and are overwintering just fine. I’ll have more to harvest by late spring. I made my red sauce for pozole for Christmas with my harvest!
Big Chiles with just enough heat to add to green enchilada's. The flavor after roasting is fantastic. Since green chile roasting is not a local thing in Eastern Washington we us a weed burner. The smell of roasting peppers is heavenly.
My favorite green chili to grow. Plenty of heat and after roasting sit perfectly on a hamburger. Also my wonderful wife makes Puelo Chili jam that is a real crowd pleaser
I was looking for a spicier New Mexico red chile and this was awesome! It is a beautiful looking pepper and the taste is superb.
Very productive plants even up here in New England!
