Take any container of your choice with at least 2-3 drainage holes at the bottom. Fill the container with potting soil and organic compost of your choice. Sow 2 seeds per spot at a distance of 36 inches.Push the seeds at least 1 inch into the soil and cover them with soil. Use a watering can to lightly shower the seeds to initiate the germination process. Long melon seeds usually take about 6-8 days to mature from seeds to seedlings.After the second week, the seedlings will begin to grow into a tiny plant. At this stage, keep only 1 plant per spot. Cut off the small and weak plant with a pair of scissors.
