Start them inside early and get them out after the temp stays above 55 F.
Cold temps stunt their growth and recovering from that can add an extra week
or so to the maturing time. Dont try to get a large melon to make it,
because they probably wont. Sugar Babies might be the size that might make
it there.

Why dont you plant Blueberrys, raspberries, and cranberries? Then when they
are ripe, bring some here to Western Kansas and I will trade you melons for
them?
