Description: 25GOLDEN BEAUTYCASABA MELONSEEDS Cultivation Guide for Golden Beauty Casaba Melon: 1. Planting Seeds: - Start by selecting a sunny location with well-drained soil. - Sow the seeds directly into the ground in late spring or early summer, as they require warm soil temperatures. - Space the seeds about 2-3 feet apart, as these melons have a sprawling growth habit. - Plant the seeds 1 inch deep and cover them with soil. - Water the seeds gently and keep the soil moist until they germinate, which usually takes about 7-10 days. 2. Growing Conditions: - Casaba melons prefer warm temperatures between 70-90°F (21-32°C). - Provide regular watering to keep the soil consistently moist but not overly saturated. - Mulching around the plants will help retain soil moisture and deter weed growth. - Fertilize the plants every 2-3 weeks using a balanced organic fertilizer. - Trellising may be helpful to support the vines and keep the melons off the ground. 3. Harvesting: - Golden Beauty Casaba Melons are typically ready for harvest 80-90 days after sowing the seeds. - Look for signs such as a light yellow color, a slight wrinkle on the skin, a fruity aroma, and a slight give when pressed gently. - Cut the melon from the vine, leaving a short stem attached.
