Arancino, Cantaloupe

This Italian cantaloupe from Sicily has a fragrant aroma and rich orange flesh. The fruit is about 6-8" and 2-4 lbs with a netted exterior and firm texture. It's perfect for market farm production and home gardens. The Arancino Melon is high-production and small (6-8" diameter) with bright orange flesh, making it an excellent choice for single servings. The seeds are open-pollinated.

Sow indoors in 2-4" pots with good potting soil from mid-May through mid-June. Transplant into the garden with 2' centers one week after sprouting. Melons may also be direct sown when the soil is warm. They are frost-sensitive and benefit from row cover. Protect from birds while sprouting and from insects when plants are young. To save seeds, scoop out seeds when you eat the fruit. Rinse off and dry the seeds.
