The best technique is to sow the seed, at 2-3cm in depth, directly to small mounds of compost that will ensure adequate nutrition and drainage. Keep well watered up until germination. Rockmelon is not frost tolerant so it is preferable to plant when conditions are regularly above 18 degrees. If cool, propagate in seed trays, keeping indoors at night and transplant when conditions are right.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpacing 1.5m\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCompanion Plants\u003cbr\u003eSweet Corn\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApproximate no. of seeds: 35\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Little Veggie Patch Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48607619219648,"sku":null,"price":5.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0624\/3283\/7824\/files\/rockmelon_600x_772ee3a3-ab82-4110-9619-aed052fda6d8.webp?v=1783952200"},{"product_id":"little-veggie-patch-co-heirloom-seeds-strawberry-white-soul","title":"Little Veggie Patch Co - Heirloom Seeds - Strawberry 'White Soul'","description":"\u003cp\u003eA white skinned alpine variety of strawberry that is pest resistant due to the colour of their skin that makes them harder to identify to the plethora of pests waiting for them to turn red\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen to Plant\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZone 1: September – January\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZone 2: September – February\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZone 3: Anytime\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZone 4: Anytime\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor zone map \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/littleveggiepatchco.com.au\/pages\/when-to-plant-map-zone\"\u003eCLICK HERE\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e20 – 25cm         \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDepth:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e0 – 1cm     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePosition:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eFull sun\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eFree Draining with plenty of compost\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to Plant:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eEarly in the season sow in trays, however once sufficiently warm sow directly into the garden.
