This year I am actively going to grow some melons for my wife(she is addicted as I am).I have prepped some mounds,went to north Fl.to check on some farms,methods etc.Including this link below.Got 5 varietys at four leaves now,temps at 60-80ish for a while hopefully,and humidity is low.good dry loamy beds,manures,wheat straw infused organic planting holes .Now I am hooked.Maybe this might be some of your answer with a proper variety selection.My couple of boxes are made up.My niece at 10yrs is running the grow.Should be fun.
