Even if it's a bit cool, they'll establish their root system and be ready to produce flowers and fruits when the weather warms up.

great thats good to know, I am new at melons but they use to grow wild behind my house on a hill when I was a kid so I didn't think they would be to tough to grow...but then I got a little worried
