These Jubilee's grew out onto the lawn. Most of the 150' row row was comprised of 'Jubilee'. The method I used to grow them was the following; The melons were planted in the garden around Memorial Day on a raised row. Once the plants started to run I laid out hay in a strip two feet wide right up the middle of the row. I had to lift the vines up to do this, because I had waited too long. After laying hay up the middle I rolled out 4' wide black plastic on each side of the hay. So between the mulch and the hay the melons had about ten feet of weed free growing area. The plants were so healthy they took about 4' more on each side. Plant spacing was 15' in the row. Each plant then occupied a space of about 15'x18'
