How To Grow Cucamelons? From Cucamelon Fertilizer Needs To Common Issues. | Gardening in Canada

Growing cucamelons in Canada is the perfect beginner to expert gardeners. This article is a complete guide to growing cucamelons in a cold climate. We will be looking at the more advanced method of starting them indoors and unique varieties to grow. For beginners we will be discussing the keys to success and the purpose for each variety.

Starting cucamelons indoors is not necessary due to the short number of days till maturity. Most cucamelon varieties are 65 days from start to finish. This means cucamelons can be sown outdoors in Canada from hardiness zone 3 or more. For people living in the USA cucamelons can be sown outdoors from hardiness USDA zone 4.

Cucamelons are easily transplanted outside and therefore can be started in all nursery pot types. The reason I mention this is because in my cucumber blog post I mentioned using peat pots. This method helps for lessening transplant stress. Sow the seeds into a peat based soil and for faster germination rates by applying a small level of heat.

PLEASE SUBSCRIBE if you are wanting to know more on gardening in Canada & gardening in Colder Climates in general. My methods apply to the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 1 - Zone 6. As a soil scientist I always try to incorporate science into my videos. Soil science can be over complicated so allow me to guide you.

Leave a comment and let me know where your are gardening. And let me know what videos you would like to see in the future!

Ashley is an agronomist who has had a passion for plants since she was a small child. In the long summers as a child, she would garden alongside her grandmother and it was then that she realized her love for greenery. With years of great studying, Ashley had begun her post-secondary education at the University of Saskatchewan.
 At first, her second love, animals, was the career path she chose but while doing her undergrad she realized that her education would take her elsewhere. And with that, four years later she graduated from the University of Saskatchewan with a bachelor’s degree in science and a major in Soil Science. 
Some of Ashley’s interests are YouTube, in which she posts informative videos about plants and gardening. The focus of Ashley’s YouTube channel is to bring science to gardening in a way that is informative but also helpful to others learning to garden. She also talks about the importance of having your own garden and the joys of gardening indoors. Ashley continues to study plants in her free time and hopes to expand her YouTube channel as well as her reach to up and coming gardeners.
