Planting Instructions:
Soil Preparation:
To prepare soil, remove weeds, large rocks, and litter from the planting area. Leave small weeds and dead grass, they will enrich the soil when turned under. Spade the soil 8-12 inches deep and turn each shovel of soil over completely to cover the plant materials with soil. You may add fertilizer (see "Fertilizing" below) or 2-3 inches of organic material such as compost, leaves, or rotted hay over the planting area at this point. Till to mix this organic material into the top 8-10 inches of soil. Make rows of soil beds 4-6 inches high and at least 3 feet apart. This formation of ridges will help with drainage.Planting:
Plant in the spring after all danger of frost has passed and the soil is at least 70F. To plant, make 1 inch deep holes spaced 4 feet apart in raised beds down the rows, then plant 1-2 seeds in each hole. Cover thinly with soil and water after planting. After the seeds come up and plants are 3-4 inches tall, thin to 3 plants per hill. Bitter Melon prefers humid climates and can grow up to 16 feet long vines. Trellising is recommended.| Planting Depth: | 1 inch |

Between-Row Spacing:

Care During the Season:
Watering:
Water the plants enough to keep them from wilting. If the weather is
really dry, squash plants should be watered at least once a week. Sandy
soils need to be watered more often than heavy clay soils.
Weeding:
Keep plants as weed-free as possible. When plowing or hoeing try not to
dig deeper than 1 inch to prevent from cutting the feeder rooters which
may slow the plant's growth.
Fertilizing:
You may optionally add scatter 2-3 pounds of a complete fertilizer for
each 100 square feet of garden area. Work into the soil and leave the
surface smooth. For small gardens, use 2-3 tablespoons of fertilizer for
each hill. Scatter the fertilizer evenly over a 2 foot by 2 foot area.
work it into the top 2-3 inches of soil. When blooms first appear, you
may optionally apply 2 tablespoons of fertilizer around each hill. Do
not let fertilizer touch the plants. Water the plants after fertilizing.
Insecticides:
Insecticides may be used to protect plants. Bt-based insecticides and
sulfur are organic options that can be used for prevention. Sulfur also
has fungicidal properties and helps in controlling many diseases. Larvae
of the Squash vine borer are usually found inside the stem and cannot
be controlled once they are inside the stem. Sevin® and Thiodan® can
control for squash bugs. Pyrethrin and rotenone can control for the
cucumber beetle. Before using a pesticide, read the label and always
follow cautions, warnings and directions.
Diseases:
Check the plants daily and if spots or mold appear, treat the plant
with an approved fungicide. Neem oil, sulfur, and other fungicides may
be used. Please always follow label directions.
Harvesting:
Bitter
melon requires close attention at harvest time as they can ripen
quickly. Harvest White Pearl Bitter melon when they are young but fully
grown, the skin is light green to white in color, shiny, and tender, and
the seeds are still soft and white. Ripening can continue after
harvest. Old vines can be composted or worked in the soil well before
the Spring planting season.
