How To Grow Cantaloupe
By Jaslyn and Geon
Materials
To successfully complete the planting, you will need:
Three Cantaloupe seeds (fresh from fruit), a pot, soil, sticks, wire, and finally, a big garden bed where you can plant the Cantaloupe.
Step 1: Planting in the pot
First, fill the pot with soil until it reaches a half. Then poke a hole in the dirt, and then place the three Cantaloupe seeds into the hole, and then cover the hole with dirt.
Step 2: Care and patience
Now, you have to wait until a sprout grows. Every day, you have to water it and give it sunlight.
Step 3: Moving the plant
Now what you have to do is check if your Cantaloupe sprout has turned into a seedling. If not, keep waiting. If it has, bring the pot outside to the garden bed and carefully move the plant into the garden bed plant the plant into the dirt.
Step 4: More care and patience
Again, with patience, wait until the seedling turns into an adult plant. Still water and give the plant sunlight, as usual.
Step 5: Attaching the stem
At this stage, you have to use the sticks and the wire. You have to push one stick into the dirt (if one breaks, use another one). Then you have to take the stem of the plant and tie the top of the stem to the stick with wire.
Step 6: Even more care and patience
The step now is that you have to wait till you see Cantaloupe growing from the stem.
Step 7: Enjoying the fruit
Finally, you can sit down and relax, and enjoy your homemade Cantaloupe!
