how long for cantaloupe to grow
Cantaloupes, also called muskmelons, take 35 to 45 days to ripen after the flower has been pollinated. Higher temperatures mean a shorter ripening time. Cantaloupe vines normally take 90 days to grow from seed to ripe fruit.emale cantaloupe flowers are receptive to pollination for only one day. If bees don't bring pollen from a male flower on that day, the female flower dies and falls off. It takes several visits from bees to ensure full seed and fruit set.
