Harvest: Look for the following signs, as it does take some practice on telling when they are ready to harvest. The skin tone changes and the netting becomes heavy, the ends soften, they will slip from the vines or a gentle tug will pull it away from the vine, a crack develops around the stem, the closest tendril to the stem dries, and the aroma increases when ripe.

Tips: Plant the Ananas Melon in fertile soil, amended with compost or well-rotted manure and keep well watered. They benefit from growing on black plastic and by using row covers for weed, insect control, and more rapid growth.
