From our crop reference

Honeydew is a fruit crop, grown in the zaid season. Sow it in Feb–Mar and expect to harvest in 80–100 days. It wants a pH of 6.0–7.0 (close to neutral) and 22–32°C. Plant at 150 × 60 cm, allowing 1–1.5 kg of seed per hectare. A good crop returns around 18–25 t. Watch for fruit fly, powdery mildew.
