I would say melons are really easy to plant and care for and that would b a great start all i did was i bought a melon at the local grocery organic of course, then i dried the seeds and about a week later i put them in a dark garden container and after that they surprised me , i figured i would get one or 2 from the 50 plus seeds but i got about 50 plants out of that one melon, i left them to get roots for about 1 week and then transfer them to my plot not all plants took on the ground but that's why i planted so many just in case, i can tell you i have some beautiful fruit and it was all ease but i do suggest you planting flowers around and in between your crop so that the bees can pollinate that will give you alot of fruit unlike hand pollination.
