Planted Rocky Ford Green Flesh Melons Today

I haven't been able to find much information on when to plant "honeydew" melons in zone 9b, but did find the chart below so I risked it and planted 5 seeds of my Non-GMO Rocky Ford Green Flesh Melon today in the yarden, in the space I pulled kale plants from recently.  I watered them in and hope they sprout in the 10 - 20 day germination time printed on the packet. Note, this is not where I got my seeds, but they had the best online picture so I'm using it.

85-95 days to mature. 5.5 inches x 4.5-5 inch diameter, 2.5-3 lbs, heavy netted, slightly ribbed good rust resistance, good for shipping and home gardens.
