I heard a woman say ain't no good men out here. We are out here. Married is 1 reason. 2 is gardening. 3 The All Mighty has a beautiful love story for the two of you to meet. Great video my brother. That 1 melon can feed 1 person to get them to the blessing tomorrow. Much love from Florida my brother
I planted bush sugar baby for the 1st time last year in 30+ gallon containers and wine barrels using bagged potting soil and some free compost that the city gives away. I had a total of 16 watermelons from 7 plants that ranged between 4-12 lbs. It was good and sweet and I was so proud of it! But nobody wanted to eat it because it had seeds in it. My family sucks. - Zee, N. Cali zone 10a
Hello I hope you grow thank you I’m glad to hear lol 😂 I love sweet watermelon
We only planted four just for space I think we’ve could’ve done six we will see this year thanks for stopping by 😊🌻
I agree, your family does suck LOL.
I do hope that you enjoyed the fruits of your labor.
Your family must be spoiled , lol , more for you though
To have a seedless watermelon, one would have to inject colchicine in the early stages of growth.
I’m worried about that too! 🤣 that my family is gonna be picky about the seeds booooo lol
Watermelons are heavy eaters So you must fertilise them well at the beginning of planting
I’m impressed you definitely have a greener thumb than I do
“Rub it in like you scratchin’ somebody back” 💀 I am dying laughing over here. Love this video it was very informative!
Hello Sydney heientman your welcome and thanks for stopping by 😊🌻
I'm growing some of these this year. I can't wait. I got a bunch of 5 gallon frosting containers from my job And going to plant a few sugar babies this year for my daughter because she loves watermelon so much.
Usually I do a lot of Baby Round Zucchini, Cherry tomatoes, carrots and lots of greens. Mostly Collards, Chard , Arugula but im going to try something new. Arugula Greens are amazing, they grow fast and abundant. Usually I harvest my chard leaves and wrap them around a bunch of arugula and chop them all together. They make for some very tasty greens.
Oh I just thought of a good idea for a Hamock!!a lot of produce at the grocery store is sold in those mesh bags like potatoes and bags of oranges and stuff like that they would be perfect for hammocks!
See my comment above for supporting your fruit it works really well

Beautifully done.
That’s also a great way to fertilize I never thought to do that eventhough now it seems pretty obvious
Wow! Your watermelon look fantastic! Best I’ve ever seen in a container!😳👍🏼

I really like the tomato trellis idea! I have some 20 gallon grow bags, how many watermelon plants do you think I can grow in there? I also have 10 gallon and 15 gallon, what do you think would be best to use?
Hello, yes you can grow watermelon in 20 gallon container I would suggest 4 . In a 15 gallon two in a 10 gallon one you want the watermelon to have enough space to trellis up. Thanks for stopping by 😀
Thanks for the great tips. I grew watermelon in containers last year. I had a lot of little babies but only 1 survived to maturity. I think I will fertilize/feed them more nutrients this year.
Help YourFavNurseB that’s awesome never give up is my model. Please keep us updated thank you for stopping by 😊🌻
@myxer516 it was about 13gallons.
Hi sir this is my first time planting watermelon may I know can i use 5 gallon to plant
I am trying my hand at growing different types of melons 🍉 this season in Ca zone 9b. My two tires of plants look real good thus far but I will fertilize them with the blood and or bone meal this week. Keep growing family 🥦🥕🌶
Hello Wanda Johnson that’s awesome to hear please keep us update as we say also welcome to the family. Thanks for stopping by 😊🌻
Hello NjCali, I'm back. I need help I know I don't have the best used tools for my watermelon but I want to know how to transplant this? Do I put it in the ground? I'm referring to the black potted one on the ground with the great value forks lol.
Can I put the WHOLE pot in a TOTE or I have to figure away to get this plant OUT of the black pot and into a bigger space (in this case I want it in a TOTE) its bigger but is it ideal? does it depend on which type of watermelon I'm growing?
I don't want to damage the roots taking it out of the black pot so any advice? My first thought is drilling holes in my bigger round tote that kids put their toys in typically, put sticks at the base then my soil of choice, blood meal, earth worm castings, and perlite, should add that stuff or less? Let me know please, or anybody in the comments. the vines are spreading fast with regular watering. Oh yeah any idea why the leaves are browning ?

Thank you about the bone meal🙏🙏🙏
Hello Faye Tanner your welcome and thank you for stopping by 😊🌻
What I used to support my heavy fruit is tulle and tie it to your trellis or framework to support the fruit. You can also use a clip or clothes pin and it also keeps the bugs and birds away from your fruit
Hello Pamela Pruett thank you for the info and thanks for stopping by 😊🌻
Nice
Hello Christopher. Thank you and thank you for stopping by
How often does it need fertilizer or bone meal? the bone meal I use isn't powder and is a slow-release for 3 months. I was thinking of using worm casting to plant with and some compost and potting mix. Would the blood meal be added like fertilizer? Lastly, so it won't do well in full sun for 6-8hrs then is needs some shade? I have a south-facing garden that gets a lot of sun. Thanks for sharing!
You will treat the bonemeal and blood meal as a slowly release fertilizer if you were to purchase a garden tone or all purpose. Or vegetable fertilizer you wouldn’t need to use bone meal or blood because it’s in added addition.however if you noticed not enough leaf growth or fruit development .that’s when you can add more of just the bone meal etc. compost and earth worm castings can be added in the whole but it’s better to too dress it as it actually feed the plant your growing shade cloth is a must especially since your garden is south facing . Happy Gardening 🧑🌾
I did something similar last year and it was so much fun! Trying again this year but I am going to try growing from seed! 😬 I’m wondering if all these masks I have would make a good little hammock for the watermelons as their grow! 🍉😷🤣
Hello Debby D, Thank you we will attempt to do it again this year lol the mask thing may work give it a try thank you for stopping by 🌻
Great idea
Great video. So did you lay the tomato cage upside down to use as a trellis? I have 5 of these plants growing right now. I didn’t know one plant produced more than one melon! I’m afraid I won’t have enough space for them.
Hello Zookey93. Yes I did lay the tomatoe cage upside down you can always remove. A plant if you like however just not all melons that grow will survive melons will take over your space thank you for stopping by 😊🌻
After 2 or 3 watermelon begin to grow can I cut the additional vines as they summer goes on. I don’t have a lot of space and know the vines can take up a lot of space. Plus I would like the plant to conserve its energy on just the 2-3 watermelon.
Hello Sabrina N.Crusoe I would not cut the vines until you see multiple . And be mindful of the female flower and the male flowers before you cut the vines that’s how you get fruit thank you for stopping by
Thank you for sharing, loving watermelon plant. We’re they sweet?
Hello Freddie Ivory your welcome yes it’s a great watermelon to grow in containers thank you for stopping by 😊🌻
Love videos wanted to know where you get your pots from
Hello I was able to get this as a used container from my local garden nursery. You can also order containers online from Amazon even check out hydroponic stores or website sometimes they sale these type of large containers as well big box’s stores happy gardening
Hello helpful vid - I was just confused my one statement - you said they love heat - then make sure they get shade ??
Hello Suzanne,Yes watermelon does love full sun however if you live in a extremely hot climate like myself you need some type of shade cloth for the afternoon sun. Thanks for stopping by 🌱
Hi!this is just 1 plant? Incredible! I am considering starting seedlings indoors (im in chicago) i thought i would need 2 plants but after seeing this, perhaps just one
Hello !! You can just use one plant if you want. But it’s best to have a back up just in case one die’s you can plant three in a 20 gallon container and be fine and have an awesome harvest.
Just asking here when not make a living soil for your plants and your water melon looks really good
Thank you
What size container did you use?
I started some from seed and wish I can keep all of them growing but I only have a small apartment patio to work with.
Hello Adriana Miranda we used a 20 gallon container and was able to plant four adding a trellis thank you for stopping by
Hey there thanks for the video very informative! What size container is that and how many plants per container?
Hello Christy Merks your welcome we grew for watermelon in a 20 gallon container thank you for stopping by

Hi! New sub here. How many watermelon plants did you fit into that black container?
Hello Buckbeak's Crazy Garden Homestead. Welcome to the Family. I placed four sugarbaby watermelon in this 20 gallon container. Thanks for stopping by.
I use blood and bone meal on my watermelon and cantaloupe also. They are growing like crazy!!
Hello musiclivesimme yes indeed it works I can’t wait to see what happens this with ours. Thanks for stopping by
Hi sir I am unable to get blood meal what should I replace instead please help cos i am new learner thank you
new here I need help fast I think. I have started growing watermelon inside and need them transported. The seedling sprouting good but I don't know which size tub to use. Old ice cream pail? or giant tote or pot like yours? buy compost + perlite? Let me know please. I have the progress on my spread awareness tab. Indoor garden.
Hello, If you have your watermelon in seed trays. You can pot them up in a 4 inch nursery pot are you can purchase party cups from the dollar store. and use that than when the weather is warm enough after your last frost date start to place them outside early. in the morning until noon until your seed starts harden off. You can transplant it in a 5 gallon to 25 gallon containers or just in the ground. In this video we grow our watermelon in a 20 gallon container. I hope this help Happy Gardening 👩🌾
@@NJCALI thanks !! I have them in small green 4x3 trays now and two others are in those jiffy cardboard material cups the smaller sized ones.
It’s been raining on n off currently, maybe hot this weekend but only time will tell. I’m concerned about them keeping warm outside in pots vs under these grow lights all day. This is my first time ever with success of growing them and I’m excited , thankful, and ready for the next steps. Thanks for replying!
I’m heading to Home Depot or Lowes today to pick up trellis’s? Perlite and fertilizer mix? It’s so many different kinds of stuff to pick from I don’t have the slightest clue yet.
I planted two sugar baby watermelon seeds on April 6th and they still haven't sprouted. I have them indoors and recently placed them on a heating pad. I live in zone 7b...so hoping for the best.
Hello KCM it may been to called when growing watermelon it requires temps above 60 degrees. Try growing more than two seeds those two may been dead happy gardening and thank you for stopping by please keep me updated I will be posting a video soon so be on the look out 😊🌻
How often do you add bone meal and or blood meal
You can add it every few months
Mix you bone meal and blood meal in your compost and your potting soil before you plant your watermelon you will have to do on extra stuff you doing right now
Hello Cecilia Gaskins yes indeed thanks for stopping by 😊🌻
How do you get them to come out sweet??my cantaloupe was nasty last year it taste like water.please help?
If you hear hollow sound that means it be real aswell is part of its steam is brown near the crown
Omg 😱 I have four plants in a tiny window box containing
It’s really not growing big at all
Hello Deana a maybe to late to transplant them somewhere also however I would say leave them and see how it would grow in the window box it’s nothing wrong with experimenting that’s how we learn and grow thanks for stopping by
I planted sugar baby for the first time here in NJ. I put the bone & blood meal in the soil further down when I first started. How often should I add more. & how do I know when they are ripe?
Hello L Wilkins. You should be able to tell by the light color of the bottom of your watermelon and by the steam trining brown. Thanks for stopping by
Can you use Banana peel juice as a fertilizer for watermelons?
Hello Q Jones yes it’s fine to use banana peels.. Thanks for stopping by 🌻
Do U put the micronutrients, blood meal & bone meal when U 1st planting watermelon, seedlings?
Hello Jose yes you can fertilize before planting. You can also fertilize after your plant starts are planted.Happy Gardening 😊🌱
Thanks a lot 4 the info I just started some pretty expensive watermelon plants 2 days ago at Lancaster hope U much better, success. Nobody wanted give me info U, rock.
I have 2 questions. How big a planter did you use? How many plants per planter? Thanks and keep up the Good work
Hello Ucfsteve. Our watermelon was grown from seed and was transplanted in a 20 gallon container we planted four. However you can fit more.Thank you for watching Please share happy gardening
@@NJCALI so these grow up like tomato’s or they vine like cucumbers?? Do you prune at all?
How big is your container in this video that the Watermelon is planted in? Thanks for the video!
Hello Elena Falcon Your Welcome , it was grown in a 20 gallon container .thank you for watching 🌻

How many plants per 20 gallon container?
How many plants you planted in one pot ?
Hello yes we four we able to get four to grow in this 20 gallon container thank you for stopping by 😊🌻
Hi sir may I know what can I replace if I can't get blood meal please reply cos I am a new learner
Hello neleson Tan. Fish meal kelp meal alfalfa meal far as liquid use you can fish fertilizer or seaweed extract. Or you can you use fresh seaweed and mix it in the soil let it decompose. Than plant you also have the option of using comfrey and do a chop and drop. I hop this help thanks for stopping by
I’m growing sugar baby watermelon also from seed. I’m hoping to harvest in September. I transplanted mine into the ground.
Awesome. Yes I can’t wait to harvests ours Aswell I think growing in the ground is better however. This is my second year growing from seed and getting to pick some fruit this year . Have you had great success with growing from seed ?
NJCali Gardener & Family this is my first time. So far I’m having fun watching it grow.
That’s great to hear I pray you have much success with it !

@@NJCALI Hello, thank *you* for answering my question.
Hey man I'm growing 7 different kinds if watermelon and sugar babies AND BUSH sugar babies are 2 of the 7 I've noticed that alot if my plants are WAY WAY smaller than other plants 75% got mixed up meaning I only know of about 25% of watermelon that I've got growing. Long story about that ...anyways my question is
Are sugar babies supposed to be smaller than other watermelon plants that are planted at the same EXACT time and the same exact way??
Thanks, from Alabama
Hello your Name Alabama sugarbaby watermelon. Does grow small they’re basically compact aka personal melon .
Sugar baby Watermelon are sweeter than most varieties. Thank you for stopping by
Thank you
Your welcome
So is it one watermelon per pot?
Hello if you want you can put one per plant
Hey NJCALIGardener, I planted some sugar babies in a raised bed community garden. The vines are all over the place. Can I move them?
Hello karen peters yes you can move the vines be mindful that melon vine grow wild so make sure that they vines don’t get cut by a lawn mower or Weedwhacker
@@NJCALI Thank you for this information. Is there a way to dig up the entire plant safely?
Yes. If you can it would be best to do it when it’s not to hot early morning or evening is best it will go into shock once transplanted. You can also give it fish fertilizer to help reduce it from shock some use vitamin D liquid to help. And that with anything v your growing
@@NJCALI thank you Family!! I'm scared to move them, but I know I have to.
What size is the container, did I miss that part?
Hello @thingswonder2001 , it’s a 20 gallon container.😊🌱

Not the best video
Sorry to hear I don’t use this method anymore I slightly changed it by digging a whole adding azomite rock dust than planting my plant start after that I fertilize it with compost earthworm castings and iv organics all purpose fertilizer. You can also extra bone and blood meal if you want. Please let me know if that helps 😊🌱

th-cam.com/video/d7pHuyNE80k/w-d-xo.html (here's my video for you to see my progress 2/3 days ago)
Hello I was able to see your video I would remove all the brown leaves as possible and place your watermelon full sun partial shade if you have a shade cloth that will work out fine I would not transplant the watermelon j that are in the five gallon containers just a trellis of some sort and the baby watermelon that it’s in the window box would be fine to transplant in the tote
@@NJCALI thanks a lot! So leave the one in the black pot where it is and just give it more sun? I thought that’s what was causing them to brown burning the leaves haha but ok I’ll cut every leaf I see with brown right now thanks. I think that’s called pruning. I’m new to the field so I’m learning! Thanks a lot 👌🏾
