**Planting Instructions:**
* **Soil Preparation:** Begin by choosing a sunny location in your garden with well-drained soil. Casaba, Golden Beauty Melons thrive in warm and fertile soil. Amend the soil with compost or organic matter to ensure a nutrient-rich environment for your plants.
* **Planting Time:** Sow the seeds directly into the garden when all danger of frost has passed and the soil temperature is consistently above 60°F (15°C). In most regions, this will be in the late spring or early summer.
* **Sowing:** Plant the seeds 1 inch deep and 24 inches apart, leaving enough space for the vines to spread. You can plant them in rows or mounds, depending on your garden layout.
* **Watering:** Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Melons require regular watering, especially during hot, dry spells. Mulch around the plants to help retain moisture and suppress weeds.
* **Support:** As the vines grow, provide support for the developing fruit to prevent it from touching the ground. You can use straw, cardboard, or other materials to create a cushion for the melons.
* **Harvesting:** Casaba, Golden Beauty Melons are ready to harvest when they have a sweet aroma, the skin turns slightly yellow, and the stem easily separates from the fruit. This typically occurs 75-85 days after planting.
