• Prepare seed trays or small pots with organic potting mix.
• Plant the seeds about 1 inch deep and water them lightly.
• Place the trays in a warm, humid area to promote germination.

• Prepare the planting holes in the garden, spacing them 2-3 feet apart.
• Carefully remove the seedlings from their trays and plant them in the holes.
• Water the seedlings immediately after transplanting.

Step 4: Maintenance and Care

• Water the plants regularly, ensuring the soil remains moist but not waterlogged.
• Apply organic fertilizers every few weeks to support growth.
• Monitor for pests and diseases. Use organic methods like neem oil for pest control.
• Provide support for climbing varieties if applicable.

Step 5: Harvesting

• Melons are typically ready to harvest when they have a sweet aroma and the skin color changes.
• Gently twist the fruit to detach it from the vine, or use pruning shears.
• Handle the melons carefully to avoid bruising.
