in the ground, in bucket

Sow in pots at a temperature of between 20 and 25°C, 6 weeks before planting. Transplant with the root ball, after the last frosts, in planting holes enriched with compost, spaced 1 m apart in all directions. Sowing in the open ground under the same conditions is possible when the soil is well warmed and outside temperatures no longer fall below 15°C.

Melons need plenty of light and warmth to ripen before the frosts.

"Vilmorin-Andrieux "Les Plantes Potagères

This very old variety, originally from France, is mentioned in Vilmorin-Andrieux's "Les Plantes Potagères". It is known as "Black Rock". It was illustrated in the United States in Mrs. Hooker's "Drawings of Fruits" in 1817. It was also mentioned by Mawe and Abercrombie as early as 1787. It seems that the variety was relatively warty at the time.
