Sindh and the coastal belt can start in January. Do not sow so late that ripening falls in the monsoon — rain at ripening splits the fruit and washes out the flavour.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSowing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sow direct on raised ridges or flat beds, three seeds per station 2.5 cm deep, stations 90 cm apart, thinned to the two strongest.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Light, free-draining sandy loam suits melons best — the sandy river soils of the Punjab are ideal. Heavy clay holds water and rots the crown.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water steadily while the vines run and the fruit swells, then ease off as ripening begins.

Use the largest container you have — 18 inches (45 cm) or a half-drum — one plant only, in full sun, and expect fewer fruits than in open ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many seeds are in the packet?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEnough for a home garden bed or a run of pots.
