What kind of watermelon are you growing this summer? Thanks for watching!
Very educating video.Quick question... how many seed do I plant to nurse in a cup before transplanting and for how many weeks?
Secondly, Can I use mixture of chicken drops and black soil as compost if I can't get compost in the market and what name is that item you mix with compost?
Finally, what is the best liquid fertilizer for watermelon.?
Your immediate response will be highly appreciated!
Thank you.
Oh, so this is a sales video.
I watch your videos not only to plant, but for relaxation also! I don’t know why, but your videos are really relaxing to me, and saved me from tons of stress. Thank you so much 🙏
Hello Boen, I'm so happy that you had a chance to relax while watching the video. Are you growing melons this year?
Yes, I am, and the seeds are starting to sprout and germinate! 🌱
So soothing!!
I enjoyed your video and will subscribe to your channel.
Agree!! Love the natural noise and her voice
Planting a sugar baby plant for the 1st time in a container vertical. I was hope the wire cage would work, and you said it would ,so we'll see. Love Max
Keep us posted !! CK
Just ordered the melon seed collection! I'm so excited and can't wait to plant them! Thank you CaliKim!
I didn't know the time your livestream began so I missed it, but watched the replay, what a lovely family Kim..didn't know "Camera Guy" is your husband of 33 years, so great and your son is just charming...makes me twice as glad that I found this channel..
This is an excellent tutorial. Thank you, Kim!
Looking forward to my melons, from your seed collection, growing along with yours! I'm growing the small varieties vertically, and the large watermelon to sprawl along the garden bed ground! Thanks for these tips!
Kim you should start a blog or series called Absolutely Fabulous-- this is a phrase you say a lot and makes me feel like my plants and garden will be Absolutely fabulous like yours:-)
Love your channel! Growing watermelon vertically this season. Can’t wait to see how it goes. Stay healthy!
How did it go?
So inspired by your video. My 3 daughters and I are growing sugar baby watermelons & cantaloupe this summer. We just planted the seeds in small containers and waiting for my smart pot to arrive! Looking forward to watching the rest of your videos....
I really love your garden. Your plants are all happy with the way you plant and take care of them.
I truly appreciate you for making this video. I’m growing 8 watermelon plants with a limited amount of space and going virtual is a game changer 💯
yea virtual melons are great!
Glad I found this channel. Lots of great tips! Love the doggy
Just got mine in pots and going to plant more thanks to your tips. Thank you
Congrats for getting your watermelon planted. So glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching!
Just got my order in for the melon seed pack! Excited 🙌
Thanks so much for your order - let me know which variety you like best. Can't wait for you to harvest!
Thank you for this video. I was literally looking at that trellis. you have answered my question. btw, you lok great!!!! Thanks much for your videos...
Just ordered some melon and squash seeds from your website. Can't wait to get started :) Thank you for creating these wonderful teaching videos.
Was surprised you can put so much into a 20 gal. Now I know I can grow two eggplant and basil in same container! Thanks
I love listening to your videos while I water my weeds
i wondered if the fires stumped my watermelon growth but Im glad i saw this video. I know what not to do and how to improve its growth. Thanks a bunch!
Amazing informative video with a gem of a host. I'm looking forward to trying the trellis method with the sugar babies
Hello to you Ms. Kim;
This is my first garden and I have learned so much from you.
I have already planted my vegetable garden 4 days ago with seeds.
After watch your melon video I have decided to grow my cantaloupe and watermelon vertical and in a bag. My watermelon is sugar babies and I will plant tomorrow.
Will keep you updated!
Hello. How is your garden doing?
Hi how did it go with the sugar baby watermelons in containers vertically? Thanks
I just ordered your Melon Seed Collection and I can't wait to grow some watermelons. Thanks for another great gardening video.
Wonderful, Jeff, thanks for your order. Let me know what your fav variety is - you're gonna love having your own fresh melons to eat this summer!
@@CaliKim29 I also have some new papayas germinating to try and replace the older (now too tall) plants in my backyard. They do quite well here in San Diego and most of mine were grown from the seeds out of store bought papayas.
Wow great video and it came at just the right time. I had some cantaloupe seedlings planted from your melon seed collection and the cottontail bunnies ate them down to stubs. I was so discouraged. Then I watched this video and I will plant again with maybe some chicken wire to protect them. Thanks for your awesome video.
You're adorable! I love your little avatar on the seed bag. Great video 👍🏻
Good timing. Decided more of my non garden backyard area needed to be used. Seeded gold in gold watermelon at the base of a trellis. (As well as backups in seed trays) growing a sangria in ground, baby doll (yellow) in ground and mini piccolo (along with male plant) in ground. Might also try the piccolo on trellis and hand pollination from the sangria. Zone 9b (mojave) with mixed soil as the yard is basically sand.
Thanks for the idea!
YOU GOT IT!!!
Dude I love your videos. And you of course!!!
Amazing , well explain, thank u very much Kim and CG
TY! I feel a bit more confident growing a few watermelon plants this year. 3 are in containers and 2 are in an old tire and they are all early improved canadian type.
aww happy to see u again (: hope u are all doing well!! and thank u for the discount code too!!!
You are so welcome! We are doing well, safe and healthy, hope you are too! Are you growing melons? Thanks for watching!
Very nice!
Thanks for the tips, and DIY trellis idea! I've got some cantaloupe and honey dew that are *just* sprouting now, but looking ahead to the future and how to grow them vertically because, I, too, am short on horizontal space.
Awesome instructions for growing watermelons. I’m leaning towards growing in a grow bag and have the vines go vertically. I am growing Sugar Baby. I’ve heard people say that watermelon grow best and tastes sweeter and better on the ground. But yours from the trellis looked delicious. Thanks again for the videos. Very informative. I hope I a, successful...lol
Kim... Avid veg grower here in FL... The fertilizer you're using on those STEMS of yours... ( it's working ) 👌
I purchased your melon seed collection this spring. Looking forward to planting my transplants in the next week or so here in Rhode Island :-) 🍉
love your videos. so good! thank you.
Just love this video. Very interesting
Hi Kim! I'm in Ottawa Canada and we are now out of the frost warnings. My sugar baby watermelon have sprouted indoors and I'm about to plant them on my arched trellis in the next week.
Bet you can't wait to get them planted outside and feel the warm sun on your back. Enjoy your garden to the fullest!
Thank you so much!!! This is a huge help.
Thank you for sharing your video how to plant watermelon
i love watching your videos maam. thanks for sharing
Seriously lady ,you are a dreamer
Nice garden! I like all the stone and metal. I live in Miami and just took apart a wooden raised bed i built 5 months ago....insects and rot (and a hiding place for cane (poisonous toads) were the main reasons. Stone and metal are the way to go in this swamp.
I just transplantes some little sugar baby watermelons and honey rock cantaloupe from your melon seed collection and they look great so far! Looking forward to growing then alongside you! Thanks for the great tips!
Hi Samantha - How fun, so glad you're growing melons with me. Let me know which one you like best!
Thanks for the video. I am planting watermelon this year and sure appreciate the tips. I will be planting up, so this really helps me. I have a very limited space so this way I can plant more. I look forward to all your videos. Keep up the good work Kim. You, too, camera guy. Love you both.
Glad it was helpful, littlelena! What kind of watermelon are you growing? Will pass on your greeting to CameraGuy too. Thank you!
@@CaliKim29 I am planting sugar baby and crimson sweet. Thank you.
Hi! Wonderful and informative video, thank you! We just out crimson sweet and sugar baby in the ground, but have a few more SB sprouts that I'd like to try growing vertically, so I am so happy for your video 😁🌿🍉
Wonderful video, thanks a lot!
Nice garden!
Thank you very much.
I'm trying to work my nerve up to put my beautiful little sugar baby seedling in its forever home, it's my first watermelon. you make it look so easy
I have raised beds (on top of volcanic rock) that I grow my vegetables in which works pretty well.
Thx for the great tips I’m growing watermelon can’t wait to taste the sweetness love your channel and stay safe
So nice of you, Fresh Landscape! Any plans for growing melons this summer?
Yes I might put them in ground soil but if sprinklers spray on them will they get disease I’m not sure? I also might grow some in containers thx to your amazing tips🙂
I love watermelon thanks for this video
Hi Sherin, watermelon are so rewarding to grow, so fresh and tasty in the summer. Thanks for watching!

Jeanette, you'll love them, keep me posted!
I was only thinking of starting watermelons today! You read my mind
Perfect timing, Nicole! What variety are you growing? Thanks for stopping by!
Not sure yet. I actually bought both your bean and squash seed collections yesterday! I’ll be starting those first.
@@NicoleHulettt awesome - you'll love growing beans and squash. Your order ships tomorrow! They grow so fast, you'll be harvesting before you know it!
enjoyable video
Beautiful Garden and beautiful Lady....
Love form India...
Yay! Thank you so much
No problem!! Glad you enjoyed it. :)
❤️
I love water 🍉melon
just started some cantaloupe seeds, might put those into containers. building some trellises before i put seeds in ground also.
You're gonna love growing your own cantaloupe, Cinch! Super easy to grow and so juicy and refreshing in the summer - enjoy!
That steel trellis is really good for watermelons.
My watermelon is finally taking off and growing up my trellis
Hi Catherine, how exciting to see them grow. They look so beautiful growing up a trellis. Let me know how they turn out!
I was very surprised at the amount of melons you placed in the fabric pot. A guide line I read says minimum 5 gal. for one plant. Also if using liquid fertilizer, use each week. I read a lot on various sites. I can not wait for time to plant melons. I have some seedling of Tuscan melon. Want to do watermelon also. Sugar baby sounds perfect. Love your garden pal.
Very good in did
Awesome advice will give it a try had Black Diamond seeds.
I will wait for the fruit :)
Your very helpful and beautiful 😍
بيتك جميل تبارك الله
You mentioned using the good dirt plant food in the beginning because of its high nitrogen levels and how it encourages green leafy growth. Then after it starts to flower I think you said at that point you only give it the worm tea. Would you recommend that for things like tomatoes, peppers, and other vegetables like that? Start with the high nitrogen and then cut it off when it begins to bear fruit?
I just put in some drip but have never used drip before. Can I get an idea of how often you water and for how long? I know my situation will be different in my zone, but knowing what your schedule is will give me something of an idea as to where to start. Thanks!! Love your channel!
Love your videos! No I’m not growing watermelons, I just wanted to watch this video.
Glad you like them! Are you growing melons? Thanks for watching!
My balcony only gets morning sun, early afternoon (1:00-2:00) the sun moves around to the other side of my house. I believe toms, watermelon and other full sun plants will be out of reach for me for a while.
Still watched the whole video. Your garden is beautiful! 💚🌱
Hello BassetLuv - You can actually plant smaller varieties of tomatoes and full sun plants and do pretty well in 1/2 day of sun. Watch for my Container Garden Series starting in a week or so for more tips, and Container Garden Seed Collection available at about the same time. Definitely a smaller variety of watermelon like sugar babies would be the way to grow. You might not get as many as you'd get in full sun, but it's so worth it. Thanks so much for watching the whole video, and so happy that you enjoyed the garden!
CaliKim29 Garden & Home DIY oh wow! Thanks so much for all the tips. I’ll definitely keep my eye out for your new series, that sounds like exactly what I’m looking for. Thanks again! Happy growing! 🌱💚
Oh I saw that already on this video, You're showing planting in a container. Thank you.👍❤
Make a video on planting crimson sweet watermelon
Just ordered your watermelon seed kit! Thank you for the great tutorial... growing vertically is the way to go! Love seeing your garden grow! ❤
Awesome! Thank you, Jill. Can't wait to hear how your melons grow. Glad you're enjoying the garden!
looks awesome Kim...Im planting sugar baby melons in many areas, where ever i can hahaha. Lovem. . I'm thinking that smart pot is gonna be crowded...might not be enough air circulation Kim. Dont want mildew. Hmm. Well, i hope all goes well because when they quickly spread and growup....gonna be tuff to try and take that center one out. Just my concern and an observation. Other than that..i love your videos....by the way...I did your smart pot/sac compost method...but i used my geo bin...also key was the black plastic cloak and lid i made for it...3 days after i made it...went to 160 degrees..turned it (basically lifted the geo bin off of the pile, and just garden forked the pile back in) Tried to do it every 3-5 days....after 3 weeks..it was done. First time ever!! Key seems to be turning it every 3 days or so. Thankyou...
i planted some suger babbies in a above ground garden with trillis and they doin great
Perfect way to grow them, Mike. Enjoy!
Awesome!! Glad to hear cause that's what I was thinking of trying!♡ thanks so much for sharing ♡
Ive just made a new garden bed i amended it with chook poo and goat poo plus pellet fertilizer and calcium and leaf mulch is on the bottom my rockmelons and watermelons should love it they will be growing over a table top trellis im making out of a old trampoline frame
This sounds incredible!! GREAT work! CK
Hey Kim sorry I now is late quick question so I will need a trellis for my baby watermelon this angel from Florida am so excited for spring
And containers I will be purchasing some seeds from your collection
Hi Larry, thanks for your order! Let me know what variety in the Melo Seed Collection you like the best. Can't wait for you to harvest your own juicy melon this summer!
Her in new England Rhode island very short summers early may maybe 4 months if you count September.
Great info! And it doesn’t hurt you are so freaking cute!
Thanks 😅
I live in finland and i think we don't have mutch warm places to watermelon. We have pretty cold summer in the finland. Buth i am going to try grow watermelon in warm place of our house... :)
Hi 👋 Cali, can I grow my tomatoes/peppers without worms tea? I’m just using miracle grow food for my plants. Stay well, thanks in advance for your answer 😊
You answered my question without really addressing it. Space is limited so wanted to find out in a fountained like the round one you used seems you intend to use at 4 vines? Will look out for another video of your in case you address how frequent to fertilize regularly? Thanks for your helpful videos
Hi Kim! Thanks for this video! Question: I have a 45 gallon fabric pot (18" deep) and want to plant some Blacktail Mountain watermelon and Oka melon (a large canteloupe, lost-and-found-again variety developed in Quebec). Do you think 3-4 watermelons and 2 cantaloupes would be feasible?
You are such a beautiful lady. And your videos are awesome too.
I'm starting my first ever vegetable garden! Do you have any tips?
Hello Ms Kim. Thank you for doing this video I found it very helpful. May I ask you one question? I watch your youtube video on this similar topic a few weeks ago and started the seedlings in the pot back then. Everything went really well except for one thing. I planted them very close to each other. My pot is about 2feet in diameter and 5-6 feet deep and I planted 4 watermelon plants in there. Each one is only 6-7inches away. So my question is, do I need to get rid some of them? (It really hurts because they all grew nice and well). And if not, would it be bad for them? And also for furtilizing, I bought a verris terra castworm tea as you suggested, would that be sufficient enough or do I need to get any other futilizer? Thank you very much expecting to hearing from you soon.
Wow, I didn't know you could plant that many watermelon plants in the same container! I just planted 2 sugar baby watermelons in a 5-gallon bucket. I also turned it into a self-watering container. I planted one plant on each side. Do you think they will have enough room? Also, do I need to have a 6-foot high trellis? Could I maybe use concrete fencing? I saw that in another video. Thanks so much for your video!
"Its very important to have a very sturdy arche.. This one is very sturdy"
Proceeds to rock it back & forth 🤣
Of course there’s going to be some movement. Did it fall over? Thanks for watching.
@@CaliKim29 I just thought it was hilarious 😂😂😂
Thank you for the video! We are trellis growing watermelon this year, and our entire trellis is already covered!.. it’s hot here so we were able to start early! We have been having trouble getting our watermelons to set on the vine, so I’ve started hand pollinating them. Unfortunately, even those that have set start turning black when they are about an inch in size. Do you have any suggestions?
Im trying in a big clothes basket!!
HA! I love it!!! Keep us all posted. Very innovative, Karmen!
