Northern Indiana here, planted 8 Georgia rattlesnake watermelon seeds in a 5×12 raised bed back in the beginning of May. I usually take a hose to the garden when I know it’s going to be really hot and then once a week any other time. I can’t speak on the quality of the melons yet but they are about the size of my fist now. The vines have spread about 5ft outside of the bed so far. Same bed has 5 cucumber vines growing and producing cucumbers. I was just doing this as a goof project and the vines are crazy but it’s doing good so far it seems.
You didn't mention anything about pruning the vines. Is it not necessary?
I have two watermelons plant one of them, I have it with cow manure. I have plant in Garden pot, 12 gallon pot. Plant growing very nice I cut then ends of the vines, fruit was growing for like 2 weeks and couple of days, now fruit seems to stop growing, what I'm doing wrong, I can't get my fruit to grow big. What can I do? On that one plant I cut all the ends of every vine, the other one same container size, I have it mix with cow manure and mushroom compost. I'm still waiting results on both plants, but my second plans its more younger plant, and it's just starting to have fruit. That second one i will let it grow naturally.
What can I do or put on this plants to have at least a 25 pound fruit.
First Mellon , should the Mellon be covered to prevent insects ?
I was looking for a “complete” growing guide and I’m afraid to say this wasn’t it.
I thought hydrogen peroxide fought powdery mildew.??
Do you have a how to garden book? I would buy one if you did!
I having such a big problem with our melons in our garden getting sooo big and vining everywhere can I cut them back?
I’m in my second year of gardening. This year my watermelon‘s are growing too full girth; however, none of them seem to be fully ripe! One, look like it had been frostbitten; we have not had a night under 65°. I even had one that had a half a dollar sized mold in it! What’s going on? What did I do wrong? How can I prevent this?
What do you think of fish emulsion instead of blood meal? Both are nitrogen yes?
One thing I do remember from horticulture in class in highschool is when planting, like you did at the end of the video, the teacher taught us to pinch the end of the root cluster/dirt off to helps stimulate new growth faster .
I just discovered some little watermelons growing where my compost pile was. I guess one of the seeds from the vegetable and fruit scraps germinated. Lol who knew.
My watermelon was 1/4 of the way done and it split ought of nowhere it just split open
bru every time I take really good care of plants they die but my mom just throws seeds randomly and poof fruits
Now that it's legal, you should make a video about growing outdoor cannabis.
Nights in the 50s and 60s are fine if you mulch heavy around the base of the plant so that the roots stay warm over night. I grow Georgia Rattlers in Colorado. Summer temps here can change radically. The day time temps will drop 30 to 35 degrees at night. My biggest rattler so far has been 26lbs.

I have a watermelon plant with one melon growing, it's fist size, slow growing. I'm in zone 7a and I have a feeling it won't be big enough by the time frost comes. What is the lowest temp I can leave it out there?
After harvest , will new watermelons grow on their place or do you have to seed them again next season?
Is there any special kind of watermelons that grow over and over without the need to seed them every season?
Great video
Watermelons basically LOVE my area! I live in Northern Georgia, and the summer days are nice and hot in the day, pretty warm in the night, and LOTS of rainy days! Watermelons are a breeze to grow in our area, just the waiting is hard. In fact, I just got a 16-pounder about a week ago!
I stay in Northwest Indiana when is the best time to break ground to plant?
I found a seed on the floor in my room and saw id it would grow….idk how im gonna grow this thing
