Description
The 'Anasta' F1 Melon is a hybrid variety of Cantaloupe melon. It is a high-quality variety that is sturdy and very easy to grow. In the vegetable garden, it stands out for its high productivity, resistance to diseases and heat, and the excellent taste of its fruits. This melon has grayish, netted skin and contains a beautiful orange, fragrant, and sweet flesh that is equally enjoyable as an appetizer or dessert. It also stores very well and does not require pruning.
The grafted plug plants of the 'Anasta' F1 Melon are planted from April to June, after the last frost, for a harvest from July to September. Grafting allows for a faster and more abundant harvest.
Grafting involves giving a desired variety (in this case, 'Anasta') the root system of another specially selected variety known as the rootstock. This rootstock has excellent resistance to soil parasites and diseases (particularly fusarium wilt), which provides additional vigor to the plant. It becomes more resistant to adverse external conditions (such as cold climates) and produces a higher yield compared to non-grafted plants.
The melon is an annual herbaceous plant that creeps and belongs to the Cucurbitaceae family. It has a round or elongated shape, with smooth, ribbed, or netted skin. The flesh is very watery and can be green, white, yellow, or orange.
Gardener's tip: Place a slate tile or roof tile under the fruit. It will no longer be in direct contact with the ground, preventing it from rotting due to moisture. Also, consider mulching around the plants, especially during the height of summer, to keep the soil cool.

Planting and care
Melons require a nutrient-rich soil and plenty of warmth for successful fruiting. Choose a location that is both very sunny and sheltered. Melon plants prefer cool and well-drained soil. Loosen the soil to a depth of about ten cm without turning it over. Apply well-rotted organic compost. If the soil is not well-draining, it is possible to create a small mound for each plant.
Initially, grow the plug plants by transplanting them into trays or pots with a diameter of 8 to 13cm (3 to 5in), filled with compost. Attention: When transplanting grafted plants, do not bury the graft point! Place the plants in a warm and bright location. Water regularly.
Planting in the ground should be done once the risk of frost has passed and the soil is sufficiently warmed. Space the plants 1m (3ft) apart in all directions. Dig a hole, place your plant with the graft point level with the ground, and cover with fine soil. Firmly press down and water to keep the soil moist.
Melon cultivation requires regular watering (about twice a week in summer, depending on the climate). Be careful to only water the base and not the leaves to prevent the appearance of mildew and powdery mildew. Regularly weed and hoe.
With new hybrid melon varieties, it is no longer necessary to pinch the leaves. Only perform step No. 4 to have a more beautiful fruit. In other cases, especially with old varieties, proceed as follows:
- When the plant has reached 4 leaves, pinch above the first two leaves to encourage branching. This way, you will obtain two main branches.
- As soon as these two branches have at least three leaves, they will be pinched again above the third leaf on both sides.
- The same process will be repeated on new branches above the third leaf.
- The fourth pruning is done during the fruiting process by pinching one leaf above the fruit to focus sap on the fruit and not on the production of new branches.
Keep a maximum of 5 to 7 fruits per plant.
As melons are quite demanding, you can follow them with peas or broad beans.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

It will vary according to where you live:
- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
