- As promised this is the first update on the watermelon seeds I planted in a container back in March of this 2021 season. Will post biweekly short updates throughout until harvest...stay tuned!
That Dish soap analogy was a great example. I understood fertilizer before but that just really made it stick, thank you🌿🌸
I am very happy and you’re welcome 🌾
Yaaaaas wasn’t it!
Thanks for the update!! Can't wait to see your harvest! Happy Growing!
Thank you so much!!
Wow look at those vines. Very nice sir. I've planted 4 sugar baby watermelon plants. I'm so excited to watch them grow. Peace n blessings ✊🏾💖🙏🏽🕎
Thank you.
Growing for the first time in the pacific northwest...your videos are helpful to know what to expect as you're ahead of us with your climate! In the city, so trying to grow these vertically...
Thanks so much!! I am planning to trellis this up for space consideration too. Bets of growing on your watermelons. Thanks for watching!!
That idea of putting the bin on the block was a great idea.
Thanks so much for watching!! You have boosted my confidence.
Your watermelon is doing so well. Thanks for the update.
You’re welcome!
Thanks for sharing 👍🏻
Thanks so much for watching!!!💕
thank you so much! first time growing watermelons this season and i'm using containers so i super appreciate you sharing your experience over time with us :)
Thanks for watching and best of growing success to you!!
Your watermelon are ready to start producing. This late rain is crazy, but keeps us from watering. Good video.
Yes, thanks for watching!!
Thank you so much for sharing
Thanks for watching!!
I'm having to postpone all my transplants. We've been getting crazy rainy weather in Texas! Best of luck to all my fellow gardeners.
Yes in north Tx I'm so worried about all my container vegetables getting root rot. I've placed everything up onto bricks hoping this will help. Yikes!
Thanks, you too!
@@char8a291 I've been putting them on the deck and covering them with a tarp, making a little makeshift greenhouse. So as when we do get sunshine they'll be out there. So far no root rot. Best of luck
you are great. keep being great
Great video
Thanks so much for watching…it means so much that you enjoyed it!!! Be Well!!!
Thanks for the update. I just now am watching your 2nd video.....I just subscribed and I'll get all notifications.
I'm new and I already like your ideas and I love the idea of the mailbox that you shared with us that was shared with you. Thank you, God bless you and your family always.
I'm excited to see this Rubbermaid containers used for a planter for your watermelon. I'm going to plant my yellow watermelon in one of those. I'm excited to get started!!!!
Thank you and welcome to the channel!! Best of growing success!!
Someone told me about the mailbox years ago. Works great no more rusted tools.
"Each one teach/reach one". A viewer told me and I definitely wanted to pass it on.
I've also heard that if you put dryer sheets in your mail box it's *supposed to* keep spiders out. 👍
Those sugar baby watermelon are doing just fine nice growth
Thank you for watching!!!
Thanks for the update
No problem 👍
Much Love!
Thanks and Blessings!
Great update, thank you.
You are very welcome and thank you for watching!!
Love the sponge reference makes sense! Thank you gonna try this... started my sugar baby watermelons in seed starters I don’t have a bed or mound so thanks!
You are so welcome!
My melons die when I transplant them. Sadly 😕😕
That was a great way to describe making sure your plants get nutrients. Thanks for sharing 💜
You are so welcome!
Great analogy with the fertilizer compared to a sponge!
Thank you and thanks for watching!!
Thank you
You’re welcome.
I couldn't find the short updates..
Really looked forward to seeing your harvest of watermelons..😊
Hello Jackie and thanks so much for watching. Unfortunately, I didn’t choose the best location or good enough drainage and it died. I have learned from that and in the next few days I will post a video with 2 different varieties grown in 5 gallon buckets. One has already germinated and the other will be a planting. Stayed tuned and be well!!!
@@sbf_fl Thank you..
Love your videos they are great
Thanks so much. That means a lot. Thanks for tuning in!!
I love your channel and maybe add a few more holes around the base of the container to help release extra water
That is an excellent idea...will do! Thanks for watching!!
I did this after watching your video and my watermelon vines have exploded. I've never grown watermelon before and they are doing so good. I planted them a month ago and have about 10 the size of an orange. So excited, thank you
Hello Ashley!! It is such great news that your vines are flourishing. Gardeners assisting one another is what it is all about. Let me know how the harvest goes. Continued blessings with your garden. Thanks so much for watching!!! Be Well!!!
I’m so jealous. What zone are you in
Would growing in a rubber container help keep the soil warm? Any suggestions for growing watermelon in Wisconsin greatly appreciated. Love my garden peeps❤
I have been doing the same thing thank you for sharing
You’re welcome.
New to the channel love the information I am starting watermelons this season also will get them into the ground this weekend thanks again for the information
Hey there, thanks for watching!!! All the best of growing for your watermelon crop!!
Lots of growth. I love watermelon! New friend here.
Yes, watermelons are heavy feeders.
Thanks and welcome
i like the video. You present very well, I hope you go far. I do want to say that I wouldn't worry about heat and UV with watermelon. I think your plant would grow much better in full sun. They love it. Same with cukes. The sun keeps away powdery mildew as well. Just a thought. Ill be watching more videos and your style is refreshing my friend.
Thank you so much. I will be taking steps to clear away some areas in the yard to let more direct sun in. Thanks for watching!!
Nice video, great tips, thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
I have container melons growing this year too. I'll have to follow along with you.
Thank you for watching!! Best of growing progress!!
Great content 👍
Thanks for watching!!
Your plants are looking great. New subscriber . We recently planted watermelon also. Thanks for sharing have a good day
Thank you! You too!
Hello from Texas. I love your channel. This is my first time growing watermelon in bags. I have been using Miracle-Gro single packets, and I have some developing blooms. Please share the potassium/phosphate fertilizer information.
Hello there and thank you for watching. I use MiracleGro Performance Edibles every 2 weeks as one of the watering days. It is a 9-4-12. Best of growing!!!
👍🏽
Thanks for watching!!
The watermelons are looking great! I can't wait until they begin to produce fruit. 😃
Fingers crossed! Thanks so much for watching!!
Have you harvested any yet?... Yesterday I harvested my 1st sugarbaby watermelon. Thank you for sharing! New subscriber.
Hi. If I make a trellis for the watermelon with a privacy screen, would that be too much shade for the plant? It will be on the west side when the afternoon sun comes. Other wisr the container gets direct light from about 8 am to 1 pm. Then the sun will be on the other side of the screen.
Hello there. In general watermelon is a full sun plant. In that regard it should receive a minimum of 6 hours direct sun every day while it is growing. For watermelon 8 to 10 hours is even better. The privacy screen is an excellent idea for a trellis. Maybe if you could place some holes in the screen that will allow some unfiltered light to come through that could help. I have to cut back my banana plant leaves in order to avoid part shade the whole afternoon. I am interested to know how the screen will work for you. Best growing success!! Thanks for watching!!
I’m curious to know how these babies turned out! I love your method and I would love to try it 😁.
Hello Talisa….unfortunately no. However, I got some excellent advice from others who succeeded and I am going to consolidate it all and definitely try again 😄…stay tuned!!
Thanks for the good explanation . Watched with pleasure. It is great 👍447 ✍subscribed. Greetings Johan🙋♂️
Hello Johan. Thanks so much for watching and subbing!!
Hi Mr. Kelvin, do you use Banana water to fertilize your Watermelons?
I heard that direct Sunlight is good for the Watermelon.
Hello there!. No I do not but I will give it a try. Yes, the direct sunlight is great for the watermelon I just have to watch that the temperature doesn't get too high. Thanks for watching!!
@@sbf_fl your welcome and I enjoy your Spirit.
I definitely need to get my follow up fertilizing habits on point. I've been slacking. What brand do you use for the phosphorus and potassium dominant feedings?
I have been using the Miracle Gro Edibles. However, this year the rains were way too much and the watermelon didn’t survive. However, with my climate I have until early October to plant a new batch for the year. This time I am going to put it in the raised bed. Thanks for watching!!
that watermelon looks sad..it needs something, my guess is water and fertilizer..melons need a lot of both..
I will be giving it lots of both. Thanks for watching!!
Nice video...what variety is this watermelon?
Hello Adiniji!! This is the sugar baby watermelon 🍉. Thanks so much for watching!!! Be Well!!!
Florida boy myself love your garden and I started up one myself any good advice you can pass on
That's awesome...How may I be of assistance? The one thing I have realized is that everyone has their gardening "rules"...you have to try, try, and try again until you find what works best for you!! Best of growing to you!!
I'm new to the channel but I like what I see you explain everything well.
I really appreciate that!! Thanks for watching!!
MY FAVORITE THING IN THE WORLD TA EAT, WM. I LIKE SPRINKLING CHILLY POWDER AND LIME JUICE ON MINE, DELICIOUS, TRY IT. PEACE ✊🏿✌🏿
I too am a lover of WM. Down here that is the way some things places serve mango. I will definitely try this on WM. Thanks for watching!!
I love fresh watermelons!!🍉 I can't grow them well where I live because of my short season. I'm going to try again this year with 'Orange Tendersweet' I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I can get a few to try. 🤞
Good luck!
@@sbf_fl Thanks!
Which potassium/phosphorus fertilizer do you use?
I use the MiracleGro Edibles its n-p-k of 9-4-12. Thanks for watching!!
