Melons

From seed, Johnny's (seeds left for all)
Hybrid Red Little Baby Flower Watermelon, 5 cells, 80% germination - planted 18 inches apart
Hybrid Tropical Galia Arava, 5 cells, 80% germination - planted 12 inches apart
Cantaloupe Sweet Granite Muskemlon, 5 cells - planted 12 inches apart
Started inside: 3/30/12
Transplanted: 5/29/12 - difficult to pull apart more than one seedling per cell (dangerous to small roots). 

Tips for next year:
Need warmth as seeds and seedlings
Only put two seeds per cell, and pull a seedling out.
Keep damp
