Start Halona melon indoors about 3 weeks before your last frost, keeping seeds in warm soil (around 20–25 °C). Seeds usually come up in around 6 days. Move seedlings out once the danger of frost has passed, in full sun, spaced about 60 cm apart. It is frost-tender, so don't plant out early. Expect to harvest in roughly 75 days.
Halona melon seed rarely stays viable beyond 5 years — track what's still worth sowing.
