"Now I'm gonna leave them for couple weeks"... "well, for you in couple seconds " 🤣 that's really made me laugh! thank you for your hard work and sharing this with us! 🍀
My nephew and I are in Texas and we like your idea of growing upwards. We live in an apt so I got creative and used a plant stand and will let the melons rest where the pots go. We really don't know what we are doing but we are going to try lol
Just a little tip for you dear. With a drill bit that long you can leave all those buckets stacked on top of each other and drill them all at once. It’s a little faster
Good to see you back posting videos Pascal. Sorry to hear about the typhoon. Good advice on not going near a typhoon, I will keep that in mind for the future !
Hello Irish Chippy, It's been a while since we communicated on FB. My tomato plant spray: 1 litre water 1 teaspoon baking soda (not baking powder) 1 teaspoon cooking vegetable oil 1 teaspoon liquid dish washing soap Awesome video and info!
Very cool. Thx for the video. I just started some seeds today here in Florida. The mesh bags is a fantastic idea and I’ll definitely buy some from the link. Thx again. God bless…
Looked great mate. Its becoming summer in Australia so you have given me inspiration. I am not sure where you live but here you can buy a paste that goes on a yellow plastic sheet that attracts and kills fruit flies. Also, you can buy pheromone bait traps. Bags are a cheap option though. Good luck with your next crop.
Very impressive Pascal. Not only have the green fingers but you certainly know your garden-y stuff. But 30C 'not too hot'? - Wow! It's 8C here today and it's unseasonably warm! I bet you don't miss that mate...
Hey Mark. Sorry for the delay in answering. My grandmother who lived across the road grew everything that could be grown in Ireland. Over here I can grow lots of thing I never could have imagined. I think you are having a few cold storms there .....
Thanks for that. You're in the Philippines where its nice and hot, and watermelons are a warm weather crop. You didn't talk about fertilizing the plant though. Also, pollination which has to be through so your fruit will be nice and round. I pluck off any fruit that is misshaped. Last year I grew some tomatoes and peppers on my balcony, but there isn't enough full sun for watermelons. this year I'm gong to add a grow light and see if that will work. To your credit you did well especially since watermelons are one of the most difficult crops to grow.
Thank you Krane. I give the a bit of Urea in beginning. When flowering I give them some Phosphate and potash, but not a lot. They do like a lot of water though
i only planted 6 watermelon seeds, sugar baby, only one came up, i thought id get at least 2 or 3 but i got one small one but it's trying, probably better just one plant to look after since it's my first watermelon and everything else i have tried hasn't been to successful so thanks for the tips, i sure need them
Hey there Chippy!!! Good to see you and glad you are all OK after the typhoon!!! Interesting project to grow the watermelon. Too bad the storm hit them so hard and the fruit flies are terrible eh!! I like your bamboo racks!!! Take care and good luck with the next crop!!!
Howdy Mike. I have loads of lettuce even though they say is too hot here to grow near sea. Even grew lowland strawberries @ 30C plus I love proving the negatives wrong
Hello again Pascal Better luck next time growing watermelon plants from seeds, we learn as you go, but at least you still managed to have some, despite all the challenges... Thank you for sharing another one of your fantastic videos and best regards/Ned
I am envious. Jennifer and I have black thumbs and could never do what you have. The watermelons look delicious. feel free to ship some to us. You should try growing them in a box to make them square. The square watermelons sell for big bucks in Japan. :-)
I like your little hammock you made for your watermelon. You should make a video on how to make it. You could try to cover part of the vine with dirt to stimulate new roots to help bring more nutrients into the plant and it might bounce back. I saw this tip on another video.
If I'm not mistaken, when he was talking about the typhoon that came through, he mentioned he is in the Philippines. Hope that helps! Happy gardening & God bless you! 🤗🙏❤️🕊️🌱
@@IrishChippy You bet, you're so creative! & your simple but extremely practical skills are truly a blessing to many! Thank you; and PLEASE keep making more videos! God bless you sir; take care; & thanks for replying! 🙏🤗😀🌱
Yes Don. We grow most of what we eat plus more. Have not been on for a while. Away from home doing charity work with our foundation for 3 weeks. Next one will be woodworking
Not really Mark. We just go up to the mountain, cut some bamboo, bring it down, and then join with round mortise and narrower piece inserted in it. We make a 'nail' from bamboo to hold in place. Thank you for watching.
It's better to put chunky wood mulch in the bottom for drainage. It's cheap and weighs a lot less. I'm also in TX in an apt and growing watermelon in containers too and didn't think about the large plastic pail like the ones you used. There's a small forest of bamboo growing off the side of a golf course a block from me so I get plenty of bamboo for stakes. You can also use panty hose from the dollar store to support the melons as hammocks and as a barrier for the flies/bugs. You have to self-pollenate the ones that
Wow this is so impressive and it seem so low maintenance too. Question how many hours did you keep them in full sun and how much watering was required?
Hi Irish chippy! I couldn't help but notice that your seed packets are the same brand as the ones I usually buy Where do you live? I'm from Indonesia and still living in Indonesia to this day Hope you stay safe!
Thank you for watching. I usually mix my own NPK. Just (Urea) nitrogen before flower buds, and thereafter I add potash and phosphate and almost no nitrogen. Thank you for watching.
Good Job bro i'm watching your videos as i found we have a lot of the same interests wood working and gardening as well. all the best by the way i have visited Philippine too it is great place to survive .
100% you don't grow them. Stop lying! You have a Thai gardener who takes care of the plants and has the know-how. You're just trying to pretend you're growing the watermelons. Shame on you! 🤣🤣🤦♂
I love watermelon baby plants - they're so cute! Mine have sprouted after only 4 days, I can't believe it! Thanks for posting this, I wanted to see when I should transplant them and how to do it because I'm also using containers.. very helpful! Can you show how you make those hammocks please? thanks!
Hello pascal and that is a cool project you've done there. It's too bad that most of the fruit didn't survive because of the typhoon winds. I believe you would've had a nice crop if they all survived.
Do you mean blossom end rot like on tomatoes? It usually mean you are lacking some micro nutrients like calcium. For the plant affected, there is not much you can do, but you could add calcium now.
More than likely the seeds from a watermelon you buy were grown from F1 Hybrid plants. So these seeds from your fruit will be F2. They will probably grow, and may fruit, but will lose some of the characteristics of the F1. Where are you located?
So you're in Philippines? Nice, I noticed the Flaura and Fauna there to be familiar there, plus you mentioned a typhoon name that's not intentionally known
@@IrishChippy Sir How many days does it take for a watermelon to grow (mature)...I have a watermelon plant in my garden..and there are some watermelons in it.one of them is 14 days old..how many days will it take to mature?

Should be no problem Valecia. Be careful when it gets super hot there. Thank you for watching
@@IrishChippy it looks like you have/had leafminer. Get some NEEM OIL, that should get rid of them! GOOD LUCK! I have watermelon, I'm in Florida.
Yes EM. We use our Neem oil mix regularly, and I like using it

I think this is fairly simple, but maybe peppers and tomatoes a bit easier
Good to see you back posting videos Pascal. Sorry to hear about the typhoon. Good advice on not going near a typhoon, I will keep that in mind for the future !
Thank you Grant. 'Twas tough going away from home for 3 weeks, but we done a mountain of work
Watching this in 2020 with the pandemic covid 19 gives me inspiration to grow own foods.
That is great. A little more difficult than greens, but am sure you can
Same here
Very cool to see you post a video again, Pascal. Watermelons are looking good. I love the tip about bagging the melons instead of using spray!
Thank you Stan. We try to avoid spraying except with Neem oil soap mixture
Watermelon are prone to pests, so very difficulty to grow without spraying unless you have a large crop.
Hello Irish Chippy, It's been a while since we communicated on FB.
My tomato plant spray:
1 litre water
1 teaspoon baking soda (not baking powder)
1 teaspoon cooking vegetable oil
1 teaspoon liquid dish washing soap
Awesome video and info!
Am glad so see you are keeping good. I do not go on facebook often these days. I use neem oil and soap
I like the fact that you reply to all messages, good work
Hahaha Dane. Sometimes it takes a while, but yes, almost all. Thank you for watching
Nice video, nice growing and tips. Sorry for the bad weather destroying your plants!! Will be looking for your next project. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you Freddie. Am growing lots of plants at the moment. Some half done videos, but most are from seed to table, so take some time
Very cool. Thx for the video. I just started some seeds today here in Florida. The mesh bags is a fantastic idea and I’ll definitely buy some from the link. Thx again. God bless…
Thank you EB. We use these bags for other fruits as well

I didn't water until they actually grew, and only gave them water when dried out a bit

Hi Janet. Thank you. It is the time of the year to get back into gardening again. x
How often does he water them. I've never had much luck when I tried to grow watermelon in the ground
I just make sure that the container compost never goes fully dry
I like the bag to protect the melon
I bought 100. We use the for other fruits as well. Thank you for watching
How long did it take to grow the watermelon
12 to 14 weeks in my case

Thank you for watching, Margarita.
Watermelons don't like being transplanted so you want to do it as early as possible. Otherwise, they're get stunted and won't grow.
I wish you more success
Thank you
Update on the watermelons. Did you harvest them yet? Coz I have 2 right now and they’re doing really good . Can’t wait 🤞🤞..
The stems were damaged by the typhoon. I have a new batch with fruit around 5 inch diameter. Also growing squash upwards. One is over 2kg
Irish Chippy Where do live? My guess is not US because our growing season just started.
Hello pascal and that is a cool project you've done there. It's too bad that most of the fruit didn't survive because of the typhoon winds. I believe you would've had a nice crop if they all survived.
Probably. I have sown some more seeds a few days ago, and we will see how that goes.

Im growing melons too but having blossom and rot problems, what can i do to solve the problem?
Do you mean blossom end rot like on tomatoes? It usually mean you are lacking some micro nutrients like calcium. For the plant affected, there is not much you can do, but you could add calcium now.
I’ve never grown watermelon before. Your watermelon is looking really good!! How long have you been growing them?
First time. Well I have new seedlings in the big pots again now. ......

Do you think i grow watermelons that grow 6kg in ireland and do they grow more roots if I plant them deeper just like how tomatoes do
I never tried to grow water melons when I lived in Ireland, but I did grow tomatoes
