I've learned more from 2 of this guy's videos than I have by watching 20 others on TH-cam. Good information and simple to understand.
I am a 54 yow who has skipped SO MANY watermelon growing videos because any idiot can make a video. I know a lot about gardening because I was taught by my husband’s grandma 33 years ago. You are a breath of fresh air on TH-cam. I have seen misshapen melons, dried vines, bottom rot, unhealthy vines, and terrible picking practices. Some people do not have enough sense to not show their stupidity. I’m here just because I am always improving & looking for tips, so the raised beds are a winner! The roots hate getting boggy & they need air. I grow mine in hills, but raised beds make a lot of sense if you keep them watered, so they will not dry out. Great job, young man!
I haven't had a garden in 25 years
I'm in Indiana for the summer building a garden at my daughter's farm. I'm growing all my melons in tires filled with your type soil. I'm 80 years young
Your daughter is blessed to have you, James.
I was cracking up when he struggled with the hose! That’s me everyday!🤣🤣🤣
This beginning puling a hose was so funny. 😂 I struggle with it too!
Haha the struggle is real!!
Me too
Me too
I was laughing so hard! The struggle is real😂
Lol SOO TRUE 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Dude, you are soooo hilarious!!! That opening was TV worthy. I felt ya! Your content is awesome and you present it very professionally and I enjoy watching AND learning!!! I think you are the only person on TH-cam that opens saying "stay TUNED" correctly. Most people say stay tune. Ok, thanks for sharing Brother! Cheers
Last year was my most successful year with watermelon in raised beds. I had 2 plants per container across 4 containers. We ended up getting back around 16 pretty decent melons. Charleston Greys for those that are curious.
Those are my favorite. Can't find them where I'm at, for some reason.
What kind of soil did u use ? And was yours raised ?
For 2 years I have been growing watermelon and cantaloups in raised bed. The soil I used is raised bed soil and what ever under the ducks and chickens. Sometimes I water 2 time a day because the hot weather dry the soil very easy. This year I grow so many different type of watermelon. I like the black diamond.
I'm here in Texas and recently left my bucket of seeds out in the rain all night. I'm still kicking myself, but as a result, I couldn't just toss them all so I planted stuff everywhere including a bunch of watermelon seeds in my grow bags I had prepared for some raspberries. At the same time my husband just built me a raised bed in prepation for fall strawberry and asparagus plantings and I was going to put in some onions or basil in there until then but my raspberries arrived but found my melons looked so wonderful I just put them in there and came here to youtube to see if this was a thing and here is your video, and your BEAUTIFUL garden. New sub. Awesome...this made me feel so much more confident about my little emergency experiment going on here. Thanks!
this is not only my 1st time growing watermelon, but I'll also be growing in a raised bed too, but in growing bags. this vid was super helpful thx!
I'm doing watermelon in a raised bed for the first time this year. This video was so helpful, thank you!
Thanks, that's really handy. I'm growing watermelons for the first time. My daughter bought a slice and I thought I'd try planting them. Blimey me! I'm lucky I only planted 6 seeds! All of them grew. If a seed puts in the effort to sprout, I never throw it away I give it a chance, so now I'm sure I'll be feeding the 5000 with watermelons instead of fish! Healthier anyway!😂😂😂😂😂 Stella
Haha thanks for sharing! There's nothing like a home grown watermelon 🍉 😋
@ron stone5 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Maybe they'll be vegetarians, you never know! Thanks for the laugh! Stella
@ron stone5 No offence taken. Yes I did know that actually! Keep pointing to all my veggie friends! You can guess how that goes...yep!.like a lead balloon! 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Peace! Stella

Thanks for this! I just planted both (from starter plants) in a raised bed we just built in our backyard
Loved the opening-watched it a few times before watching the whole video. Great information-trying it this summer.

Beautiful Garden you have. Thanks . I'm new at this.

Very knowledgeable....thanks for sharing
I grow watermelon for weight competitions. 2021 was my 1st year growing in raised beds. I had 5 melons this year over 200 pounds each. 216.5, 236, 237, 248.5 & 260.5 lb. I like the raised beds 12' x 16' beds 1 plant/bed.
Love your graceful entrance….
I really enjoy this funny video !
Thumbs UP!!! Excellent video on melons
Great info! Thanks.
Thank you for sharing!!
This was so informative to me. Thank you very much! I planted a watermelon starter plant in a raised bed. It's about ready to spill over the side so I wasn't sure what to do from here. I have gravel around my boxes so I'm thinking that will be ok.
Now I know that I'm not alone in my water hose struggle.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge
Wow, such a neat set up!! I was concerned about the watermelon I have growing in containers. I had decide to build a trellis, so they could grow up because they are a smaller variety but I love your set up with a ground cover and adding the pine needles!! Thank you so much for sharing!!
Thanks for watching! Good luck with the trellis! I'm sure it will do fine! :)

What variety do you grow in containers? Great video as well showing if they are ripe. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
Good video my man 👍
Loved the intro that was funny😆
don't know why I'm here😅 I don't have enough space for planting huhu how I wish I can grow my own food too
hahaha. I watched that intro about 10 times, tickled me good😅😅
Good video thanks!
What month did you plant your watermelon and cantaloupe?
Thanks, new to growing these guys (raised beds)... Oh boy they're taking off filling the whole bed. Now I know what do with the vines.
So Nice garden
Thank you....awesome! 😉👍
Just subscribed. Great information..
Great intro!
Dear sir I learned a lot from you. But I wish you could make a video on how to prune, peppers, water melons, eggplants, melons, tomatoes, cucumbers, and zuchini. thank you.
Very interesting. How much pine needles do you put down and could I use something different? Should the vine be expected to root on/in the landscape fabric?
Great video. Glad I found your channel. New sub here!
Mine grow in a raised bed, upwards on a trellis. A nylon (leg cut off pantyhose) is tied to make a hammock for the melons. Smaller round melons. Only 2 adults here.
Your videos are so helpful. Keep them coming. I only planted two plants in my beds but I now have about 18 cantaloupe. Dinner are just starting to grow and are about an inch long. Is that too many for the vines to nourish. I planted May 5th and several of the melons are larger than a pound. We're in hot Alabama. Should I pick off the small ones??
1st time here u r funny
Just found your channel.
Nice job! I like your setup and system.
I'm going into my 2nd year. I have a spot picked for growing watermelons. But it's not fenced. Do critters, deer, coons come after these?
Thank U
Thank you.
Thank You for this awesome motivation How do you keep the deer or bears from eating your cantaloupes and watermelons?
What do you do for pest control and intrusive insects?
Not sure why but cantaloupe grows really well here but my watermelons always fail. I don’t like cantaloupe so give them away but love watermelon 🍉
thanks so much
Can you recommend a good fertilizer for melons? Thanks 👍
Awesome bro
I like how u grow
I am trying this method this year. Can you tell which side/direction of your raised bed the vines are spilling over on? Have been concerned about vines receiving enough sunlight. Enjoyed your presentation.
LOL , this is me every morning.
That's how I feel every time I pull the water hose back after my son takes it to his car to wash it lol
Great vid, the encouragement I need. My raised beds are same size, hoping my "experiment" will not be fruitless. :) I was going to create a little milk-crate shelf 1/2 way down the side in case a watermelon forms there, hope that works. I have 5 seedlings I sowed inside, hardening off ready to plant next week. How far out are they sprawling, looks like 8'? I have about 4x6' ground space, hope that's enough? Also, did you mound up the soil in the bed before planting, or is it the same level as the tomatoes? Mine are going to share the bed with strawberries, and some lettuce that will be gone when the watermelon needs more space. LMK about the space, the mounding, and thanks!
How about a quick video on your raised bed boxes? The construction of course.
Yes! Thank you for the idea 💡 😊
*_How far did you space them apart?! Just wondering because I’m about to start growing them!!_* 🙏🏻
What do you do to control the deer, squirrels and other critters?
I had 44 lbs crimson sweets raised in beds I also hung them. This year I’m growing in raised beds without hanging them. I had over 100 cantaloupe hanging from my raised beds hung by tomato cages . I had squash bugs bad in my pumpkins so I’m concerned this year growing my watermelon and cantaloupe in the beds the pumpkins were in. Crossing my fingers. Those bugs hibernate until the nest year and hard too get rid of.
How do you protect the watermelons and cantaloupes from squirrels, rodents, rabbits, etc, etc?
Put up a fence and get a pellet gun.
Lmao can't stop watching the intro. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💯
do the vines grow into the ground after they are laying there ? i am renting a house and i cant allow plants to start growing in the ground. Im buying a small 4 food wide raised bed. how deep is best for watermelon and cantaloupes?
Getting ready to plant watermelons with 9 and 5 year old, video super helpful! What growing zone are you in?
That intro..lol 😂
Where do you get your soil..?
I found a sandy mulch along our creek drainage...I will try it for the 1st time. We have incredibly destructive pocket gophers and not sure if I can let the vines sit on screen cloth with bark....I may have to use a wire rack with cement blocks to give the vines some peace of mind....
You do a great job and your garden looks awesome! Waiting for more videos:D
Thank you for watching! Got more videos coming! 😀
So just wondering what you feed your watermelon and Cantaloupes 💚🍈🍉
