Crenshaw prefers a warm, sunny location with fertile soil. Sow outdoors in spring two weeks after last frost when soil has completely warmed. Start indoors three weeks before last spring frost date. Do not disturb tender roots when transplanting. Water consistently.
Harvest when the stem slips easily from the fruit and melons have a sweet, fruity scent.
