If you want to plant melons, find a 4 by 6 foot sunny spot in your garden and create mounds of earth in the planting area. Sow 5 seeds in each mound, making sure they are 4-6 inches below the surface. Then, cover the area with plastic mulch to maintain the heat in the soil and keep out pests. As the plants grow, water them at least once every 2-3 days and fertilize them every 3 weeks. If you're unsure when to harvest your fruit, wait until you can smell the melon through the skin.
