How to plant reindeer melon?
To grow petits gris de Rennes melons in the ground, it is important to choose a sunny spot with well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Before planting the seeds, we recommend soaking them in water for a few hours to speed up germination.
The best time to plant Rennes small grey melons is in spring, when the risk of frost has passed. Dig holes about 50cm deep and space the plants about 1 metre apart.
Once the plants are in place, be sure to water them regularly, especially during periods of intense heat. It's also advisable to mulch the soil around the plants to conserve moisture and limit weed growth.
This will encourage the plants to grow more quickly.
To encourage fruit development, the main stems can be pinched back once the plant has reached a certain height. This will encourage the formation of new shoots and therefore additional melons.
