We shouldn't have planted it here, I bought the seeds online, and I have been trying to grow them for five or six years, and it has not been successful, but in short, it is the result. It's not as sweet as the croissants sold in the supermarket, but it's very brittle, and once it falls to the ground, it's broken, it's really brittle!Let me introduce my cultivation method in the Northeast:
I started raising seedlings indoors in mid to late March, when it was still freezing outside. The seeds are planted directly in a plastic bowl in which the seedlings are raised and placed on the windowsill. We generally get thawed in early April, field sowing starts in mid to late April, and pre-emergence herbicide is applied after sowing. Transplanting croissant honey should be carried out without herbicide damage, as it is particularly sensitive to herbicide odors.
I planted a few of them myself, so I planted them next to the wall every year and put them on the stalks to climb up.
The main vine is not topped, and it should be properly tied with a rope to help it climb all the way up. After the side branches bear melons, leave three or four leaves to pinch the tips, and treat each side branch in this way. When the main vine grows to about one meter, seven or eight tops, no matter how long it is, it can't keep the melon.
The main insect pest of croissant honey is aphids, and it is found that spraying a little aphid medicine can be done.
Since the melon is hanging, it is not easy to spoil the fruit. When the fluff on the surface of the melon fades, becomes dark, shiny, and lightweight, it is basically ripe, and you can pick it and taste the delicious food you have grown.
Grow it yourself, don't pursue its sweetness, because we don't have technology and hard work, just eat safe and healthy. If you like to eat sweet, you can remove the seeds and cut them into small pieces and eat them with sugar, but I prefer its original taste.
I'm not engaged in professional planting, but I just share my own planting methods, if you haven't planted them, you can plant a few in your own yard to try. I also hope that teachers with planting experience will criticize and correct.
