Direct sow cantaloupe seed 2 to 3 weeks after average last frost and when daytime soil temperatures are near 70°F. Sow 3-5 seeds per hill. Or, start melon seed indoors 3-4 weeks before your anticipated planting date. Set transplants in the garden 2 to 3 weeks after danger of frost has passed. Optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 65-85 degrees. A week or so before transplanting time, harden off plants by exposing them to an increasing number of hours outdoors each day.
