Sow in pots at a temperature of between 20 and 25°C, 6 weeks before planting. Transplant with the root ball, after the last frosts, in planting holes enriched with compost, spaced 1 m apart in all directions. Sowing in the open ground under the same conditions is possible when the soil is well warmed and outside temperatures no longer fall below 15°C.
Melons need plenty of light and warmth to ripen before the frosts.

The Bolgiano Seed Company catalog
This ancient variety comes from the Amish group in the United States. It was introduced commercially in 1924 in the catalog of the Bolgiano Seed Company of Baltimore.
Melon is rich in fiber and contains almost 98% water, which contributes to healthy intestinal transit. In addition, its potassium content gives it hypotensive and diuretic properties, while the presence of antioxidants, vitamin C and folic acid promotes cell development and helps the body function properly.
