In this video I demonstrate how to care for watermelon plants during the Grow Season. One Game Changer tip is to prune the vines of the plant. This means to take the suckers off the vine. The sucker is a secondary vine that branches off from the main vine. When there are more that one watermelon on a vine it's best to prune one melon off. This will cause the plant to place more energy into the watermelon that is left on the vine. Increasing the side of the watermelon is the side effect of pruning. Fertilizing throughout the growing season is also a critical element in producing a giant. I use compost as well as compost tea. The tea stretches a long way. This is an organic fertilizer that can be applied as much as the grower desires. The plant will not burn because of the tea. Checking the leaves for bugs will help identify problems. Bugs can suck the sap out of the plants causing major problems if not dealt with. Remember to water the plants at the base because by doing so decreases the chance of diseases. Fungus on the plant may stop the production of the fruit. When harvesting the watermelons make sure the tendrils are dried out and cut back on watering to insure the watermelons are sweet. Lastly using mulch will help you with watering. The chances of irregular watering decreases.
I use Boogie Brew compost tea and the Amazon Affiliate Link for it: amzn.to/49g6VM6 This is what I used in the video. I am not sponsored by this product. It just works for me.
Can you practical show how it's done
Thanks! I watched about 4 watermelon videos and you get to the point. We are growing them in hidden patches… we just started doing it with melons but now we are trying watermelons
@@rachealfields2851 HEY Racheal!!! I do my best to get to the point. Let me know how your watermelons do.
@@GrowSomethingTasty we don’t have experience doing it in hidden patches… we want to plant caches everywhere around our city… LIKE a community garden but just in the neglected areas of our city… my husband is a land surveyor that knows a lot of abandoned land.
We want to do this to give more to the people in need. The community gardens suck here and people are more takers than caretakers of the plants. Is there an email I could send u when we start transplanting?
@@GrowSomethingTasty thank you!
TY. I'm in my 5th season of melons. My soil type grows them. I spent $1.44 for seeds and $3.88 for Expert Gardener water soluble fertilizer. I yielded 40 Crimson Sweet melons and shared with my neighbors. God bless you.
HELLO TexasAmericaUSA, come on now. That is SUPER AWESOME. The most I have grown is 25 or 26, definitely not this year. I have got to look up Expert Gardener fertilizer. I know your neighbors were happy that's mad cool. Thanks for sharing this great news.
Where did u find fertilizer so cheep? I seeing like 39dollars for small bag of fertilizer. Never seen any that cheep
Cutting off the small watermelon does reroute energy back into the remaining watermelon, but you could have left the leaves, because not only do they not take energy away from the fruit, but they actually add more energy through photosynthesis.
Hello Malleus, Thanks for the information. So when I cut the vine, the melon got bigger because there was no more melons on that vine. I will try to pull the small melons off the vine and compare the results.
Can u replant the watermelon u cut off
@@dariuswhite3002 No, that doesn't work with watermelons. You can pick suckers off of tomatoes and plant those if you want. It's a good way to guarantee the genetics of a certain plant that has characteristics you like.
@@dariuswhite3002 Too much work.
Thank you I appreciate your information.
I am so glad I watched your video. For years I have been watching so called Watermellon Experts, and never once did they show what the Suckers were or where to cut it vines back. I have been taking care of Crimson Sweets For 18 years now, that came in volunteers. and not once did anyone explain and show it but you. Great teaching video..
HEY Curtis!!! I'm glad you liked the video. Someone messaged me a few weeks ago (an expert) told me it's not a sucker but a secondary vine. I am not a trained expert, but I'm still calling it a sucker. I'm not a commercial grower, so I use what I learn through trial and error. Thanks for your comment, I appreciate it.
Im planting watermelon, cucumbers, green beans, lettuce, kale and cantaloupe. I am praying they all do well as it is my first time ever planting these fruits and veggies. I live in the high desert
HELLO, Monica, that sounds great. I pray they do well. You are in the high desert. Wow. I bet mulching would help you with retaining moisture. Do you use mulch with other plants you have?
I wish i planed my garden out better, this my first year too
@nicholasharris-dixon9558 Nicholas every year will get better. I remember my first year, just keep going.
@@GrowSomethingTasty my plants grew good, just to many big plants. My zucchinis and tomatoes shaded out my peppers and started to shade out my collards. My cabbage grew so big it knocked over most of my onions. I plan on making my raised bed bigger next year.
@@GrowSomethingTasty yes I use mulch and it really helps... But my kale got eaten by the white butterfly even though I tried to cover it. So I will have to try again with the Kale
Bruh! It's my first time growing watermelons. 2 - 6inch vines in a 30 gallon container. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR WATERMELON CONTENT! PLEASE post more and varied watermelon content. Thank you! Kevin in Orlando Florida.
HELLO Kevin, that's cool, first time growing watermelons. I hope you get nice watermelons. Thanks for watching the melon content. I have a few melons videos. I will be doing some updates in the next few weeks . You might like the one I did growing melons in the store bought bag of compost. This is my first year doing that. I appreciate the support.
This was everything. Very clear, to the point and showed your results. I'm going to CUT IT 😄 Thank you!!
HELLO India Shufford, thank you for saying that. You made my Day!!! That monster melon taste good but it's about gone. Glad I have another to take its place. That's right CUT IT!!
I would suggest getting a jump on cutting suckers and extra fruit as soon as you can because if you let them go too long, it'll be a spaghetti bowl of vines and it's a pain in the ass to try and trace the main stem to cut suckers etc. Next year I'll have to stay on top of it. My vines got out of control and it's a painstaking process to clean them up. Thanks for sharing!
HELLO Trilldan, yes, the vines will go all over the place. It can be a big mess. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Thank you for going back and repeating what you’re saying and then showing it to us again! That’s so helpful! Sometimes it’s hard to see what your trained eye is seeing sometimes as a viewer learning for the first time. The extra steps you take are very appreciated!🙏
M J thank you, I appreciate your kind works. Hey I'm so excited I just found a watermelon I did not know was out there. A bonus melon, I just videoed it so look for it maybe tomorrow. I don't know if it's informative as the one you saw, it's cool 😎. Your comment made my day, thanks

It is just so hard to clip the extra foliage and extra melon on one vine off but you are absolutely right to clip it!
HELLO Susie, it sure is hard to do. Thanks for watching and commenting. I really appreciate it.

@@GrowSomethingTasty thanks so much! Question, the clippings you removed... Can those be transplanted into another container? Will those clippings take root in some soil to start growing a separate Vine? Hmm 🤔
@californiad1141 I tried it, and it did not work for me. I did not try it many times. I will try it again to see if it works.

Lots of good tips. I planted Georga Rattle Snake water melons last year and feasted on the sweetest melons i ever grew. I'll use your tips to grow maybe some bigger ones this year.
HELLO Dennis, thanks. Georgia Rattlesnake, I never tried it. Now I have to try it, too many varieties to choose from. I hope you get bigger ones this year, I'm trying for a beast of a melon. The Carolina Cross is the one I want to grow next.
@@GrowSomethingTasty I'm going to be planting those Carolina crosses also.I had the seeds ordered for last year but they didnt show up until late. So they will be going in the dirt here in a bout 3 weeks or so.Then cross my fingers Minnesota dont send a snow storm down here !
Thanks for this video. I'm planting watermelon plants that I had in my window. I will be so excited to see what will happen with my 7 little plants.🥰I am a new subscriber today.
HELLO Felicia, it's no problem, you are welcome. I hope you get some nice watermelons and let me know how the plants turn out. I am also so glad you subscribed today. This is awesome. I'm trying to put out good information every chance I get. Welcome.🤗
Good stuff. I didn't know these things.
Thanks, Michael, I'm glad it was helpful. I can't wait to start my melons seeds inside in another week or so. I'm going to do an experiment on a melon plant to show the benefits of mulching. I can't wait for the season. Take care if you have any questions during the season I'm here. I'll help if I can, later.
Well worth the watch. In the international guild of gardeners, you sir have learned the art and craft. Thank you for sharing.

Parents from south they talk about me, laughing at my garding man growing melons on trellis I tell I ain't got no snakes worry about it's squirrel & rats got me climbing 😂
Even though they can still get to me, I slow them down some tree mesh cover trellises, that draws around trellis legs. & of course, net bags hold fruit in up on trellis, keep heavey melon from dropping popping off😊
I'm following you word👍💗
HELLO Yvonne, Thank you. Thank you for your kind words. Snakes, no, no, I had 2 in my garden that I know of b4. I have everything else this year. I was going to explain why this week was in a video.

Thanks for the tips,I try every year and end up with golf ball sized melons,will try your pruning method. Thank you
HELLO Michael, I can relate. Every year, that was me as well. I hope it works for you. I had people this summer messaging me saying it work. One lady said she grew a watermelon that was 42 pounds. We let me know how it goes next season. I'm working on growing big onions now. I always grew small ones, but I think I got it now. Well, that was my latest video. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Hey Bear, Another new viewer here. Nice work both in the garden and on the video channel! I'm a northern neighbour - Okanagan Valley BC. We get to well over 100 in the summer (your temp scale) but down to -30 in the winter! I'm trying watermelons for the first time and this video will help. I'm next looking at how to grow them vertically - and when to harvest - so I'm off to watch those! Be well!
HELLO bc-guy852, I appreciate the support. I hope the videos help. I'm glad you found the channel. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Thank you for your help
HELLO, Sheryl. NO problem, anytime. I glad to help.
Thanks for sharing.
Anytime my friend.
I appreciate your tips man, I have some watermelon and I have been thinking about the tiny size they have for such a long time but now let's try these tips and see how they turn out.
Hey Kenrick, no problem. I hope the tips work for you. Let me know how it goes.
@@GrowSomethingTasty Absolutely!
@@Christie.signsja How did they come out?
Nice ! Juice Juice...thanks for the tips and all hard work you put in your videos man.
THANKS, MAN!!! I try my best to put out good information and try to get to the point as fast as I can. I looked at some of my first videos, and it was hard to watch, lol. Thanks again for the support.
Nice Garden!
Hello Spoonie G, I appreciate it. Thanks.
Thank you for the tips. Those trees look nice in the backround. Lol. Look's like your climate has good weather .
HELLO Jacob's, no problem, you are welcome. My trees are growing, thanks, but this year, I had issues with fireblight with 3 pear trees. I might pull 2 out, but my other trees are resistant to it, they say. Yes, the weather is good and hot. How about your weather? Thanks for watching and commenting.
❤ thank you for info. First time gardener. Got 10 plants of watermelons and 10 cantelopes. Wish me luck!
HELLO Rhonda, first-time gardener, that is great. You have a lot of plants, and that is awesome. I wish you the best and hope you get a big harvest. Hey, look up the squashbug so you know what it looks like. In my first year of growing watermelons, I did not have any of them. But when they came, they stated. Just keep checking your leaves, and if you see clusters of eggs, remove them. They are brown when they are about to hatch the color, which turns dark bronzes. But you got this. If I can help with a question, let me know.
Awesome…very informative…Thanks for sharing…just connected…Salute!!!🍃🍃🍃
HELLO Black guns and gardens, I appreciate it. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Wow, preparing to grow about 5 acres, very beneficial
HELLO Jonathan, wow, 5 acres you are going to have loads of watermelons. I'm glad it was beneficial.
Terrific video. Very informative. Thanks.
HELLO Blurry Light, WOW! It was a Terrific video. Thank you so much. You are alright with me, I appreciate the support.
@@GrowSomethingTasty Thanks, man. I was at the garden center picking up a few plants and saw "sugar baby" on the label of some seedlings in the fruit and veg section. In my mind I thought I was buying cantaloupe but it turns out they were watermelon. 😆 I must have been thinking of sugar cube cantaloupe. So now I have 8 watermelon plants. This will be a first for me. Your tip for trimming is a good one. I am definitely doing that. Keep up the good work! 👍Thanks again.
Very interesting stuff. Keep up the great posts
HELLO Raywil98, thanks for the support. I will try my best to keep it up. I appreciate you watching and commenting.
Great video! I had to subscribe!
Thank you so much, I appreciate you Ask Me Mama Louise.
