Well, I'm not setting out some hapless melon plant in early March, not even in NM.
That stuff does better planted much later.
It sounds more like a planting guide for Zone 8, in a good year.

I've heard about the Farmer's Almanac all my life, but never read one.
No offence directed to NC Susan, but not impressed with the contents.
