Muskmelon is a plant that likes to grow in a warm environment, but it is not suitable for cold weather. Generally, we choose to sow seeds in spring. Summer is a good season for melons to come on the market, and sweet melons can be harvested after two or three months. The best growth temperature is 20 to 35 degrees, the sweetness of melons in this temperature is the most suitable, will not be too astringent and will not have miscellaneous taste.
