I just had the thought of "I should grow some watermelon."
I have a memory from 1986 of getting watermelon seeds and my 2 kids going out to the backyard and digging into the soil, didn't add anything to the soil and dropping those seeds into that warm soil. The kids excitedly kept up with the watermelon watering in high expectations of the feast that awaited them! We harvested SO many!! We shared them with neighbors, family, and friends. We lived about 4 miles north of the Red River, must have been high quality soil!
Definitely plant and keep watered. Just like you did.

My goal is to work more on my fertilizer schedule this season. This helps! Thanks!
I have 3 huge wooden crates like for watermelons 1/2 full of last year’s leaves. I’ve got potatoes planted now. they’re flowering and I have had to fertilize a couple times. When they’re done I’m planning on planting squash, pumpkin, watermelon or cucumbers in. I water them like the rest of the garden and they’re doing great. I was planning on making them raised beds, but if this works out I’ll put the leaf mold on the garden and fill them up with leaves again in the fall. Rinse and repeat!
Great idea.

I don't have room in my garden right now for watermelon, but next spring I plan on adding Sugar Baby Watermelon, and cantaloupe to my garden. I am also planning on adding a few fruit trees, a Lapins cherry treen and two plum trees. Fall planting starts in two weeks for me. That means I have two raised beds that I need to get ready for planting, and I need to cut back my New Zealand Spinach again. The spinach loves the heat and humidity, and grows crazy fast. It is a good thing it tastes good, and the texture is good too.
You will love the addition of fruits.

How fun! My watermelon plants are about the same size as the one you just planted! Now I can see and compare mine to yours and do what needs to be done timely! Thanks!
Good luck and more videos to come.

Amazing work thank you
Last year, I tried to grow those little watermelons. I had starter plants that I grew from seed indoors and seeds that I put right in the bed. I fed them and watered them as you described in the video. I got one little melon that was abou 2 1/5 inches across. It never got any bigger.
The first time I tried to grow watermelon was many years ago. I looked for seeds that had the shortest time until maturity. I believe it was Crimson Sweet. I started the seeds in paper pots indoors. By the time it was warm enough to plant outdoors. I had three seedlings.
The seedlings grew and spread. The garden was on an irrigation system; so, it got watered 3 times a week. I never feed the melons or gave them compost. They just grow. One vine did not produce. The other two did. However, of the two that grew melons, only one grew to maturity. It could have been an animal or a person who damaged the vine of one of my watermelons. I discovered that the vine had been broken.
I'm trying to grow the Crimson Sweet this year. This time, I've given it a granular fertilizer and Agrothrive. I've been watering the beds three times/week. the garden only got started right after June started. The city moved the garden to a new location. The beds are all new, the soil is new. There was not compost; but, I work with what I have available.
It can take a few tries to figure out how to grow things. I would go with the addition of fertilizers. Good luck. Took me a while to figure out radishes of all crops.

I had chipmunks digging up my shit so I bought rat traps and so far I have caught 5 or 6 chipmunks and 1 bird. Luckily, a hawk has recently made my garden part of his/her patrol area and the tiny 4 legged critters have been far and few between.
Nice. Nature taking care of business.
I have a chipmunk that must have escaped a trap before because it is in our garden every single day @ completely ignores our traps. It's infuriating!
@keyphabenyisrael3219 baiting with peanut has worked for me. however the chipmunks are fast (or smart) because many times the traps have been tripped, and the bait is gone.
@@equallywrong Yeah, over the years I've probably caught over 100 and counting. So far the only little critter going after our berries is a lone chipmunk. It must be a genius in chipmunk terms. I use peanut butter with a peanut smushed on top in the JAWZ rat/chipmunk traps. Usually the young squirrels trip the trap and leave it cleaned out. I used to catch a lot of mice, shrews, chipmunks but I think I thinned out the population so that the most clever ones are left to reproduce and start the nightmare all over again LOL
My watermelon transplants never did well. I found direct sowing them was better . My 3rd year i still can't get over how well they are doing. I can't wait and hope to do more next year 🙏
I planted watermelon for the first time 2 years ago! I agree. Was very surprised at how easy it was ! I need to mark where they are, though because I thought I didn’t have many, but they were hidden under leaves and at the far end of the garden where I couldn’t see them.
Wow! my neighbor gave me a watermelon to transplant. Now Im thinking of just direct sowing my own. Its my first time growing watermelon 😅
Direct seeding really works well for them.

I have found that when our starts were really mature before they were planted, I just needed to take off the blossoms, so they could start blank as they went in. They look great now. Our temperatures have gone wakadoodle! 2 weeks 80°F, then 2 weeks 36-40°F....now it is warming up again finally.
They can be save for sure. But I just found there is a delay compared to the examples I showed. I might do a video on saving them.

Great video Gary!
The first melon that appears should I take it off? Some people refer to it as the “dummy melon” not sure how true that is
If you could say the Celsius ° as well that would be helpful 😊
My melon plants always die of wilt. Not sure of the reason, but good video !!
Hmmm.

My ground temperature is over 100 degrees. I’m hoping my cantaloupes and melons make it. I have one 12” watermelon but it’s getting elongated on the end and looks like a black spot on it. It’s been on there for at least 2 months but I’m not sure when to pull it. It is so HOT here in Texas- 3 digit temperatures and expected to continue - no rain either.
Mulch helps and some shade cloth works wonders. Good luck.

Hi Gary. Could you please update us on how your melons do and also show a harvesting video too? I would be really interested.
I have also planted sugar baby melons this year for the first time, but my melons are only small, approx. 8cm round ball. Doesn't seem to be growing any bigger.
Any idea why?
They are in a large container inside my greenhouse.
Yep this will be on going melon series this year and you will see them in my Garden Rambling series.

I did the old-fashioned hilling and planted several hills of watermelons. I didn't have to do much for fertilizer as the lot was an old hog lot that I got tilled, added some sand, and watered the heck out of it since last summer, so the soil would be mellow and ready to plant this year. I used a 10-10-10 before I planted, and the plants are going crazy. Sure hoping I get a good watermelon 😊
I did the 10/10/10 this year as well mines is growing like crazy 😅. Now I'm just waiting for the fruit to come 😀
Excellent.

About how many melons can you get per sugar baby watermelon vine? I am trying to decide whether to plant it. Last year I had beautiful vines, but only one melon.( Full sun) I don't know if that's typical.
Don't you just hate that shit. Right now, I have one vine with three crimson sweet watermelon embryos on the vine but the damn flowers never bloomed and have died. I fear the fruits never were pollinated. Shit like that frustrates me so bad
So 3 to 5 depending on how well they do. It is good to plant several plants. But it can be hit or miss.

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN thank you
Hello Gary. I live on Long Island which is the same growing zone as you. I am having trouble with my broccoli. The plants are close to 30” tall without a single floret
They are tough with spring to summer. Try artwork variety next time and other varieties.
Thanks. This is how you can support my creation of videos.

I have always had success in the past. I am baffled as to what is wrong.
I'm appreciate being able to find good instructions on how to grow watermelons. I also listen for information on how I can use what I already have around as well as what to buy in the future. I prefer soil amendments and fertilizers that can be used for different plants that I grow.
I'm using a 30 gallon storage tote as a planting container with an S1 pitcher for ongoing compost making in the container.
I have some stuff around including Black Kow, rabbit manure, Espoma TomatoTone, bone meal, 10-10-10 with minors. I get the impression from your video that bone meal isn't going to deliver enough phosphorus accessible to the watermelon.
If I don't want to buy triple phosphate and potassium right now. What else can I use? What else are adding triple phosphate and potassium good for growing?
Do you think that a self wicking plastic gallon jug buried in the planting container would help or harm?
Yeah bone meal has to breakdown. So for the current year, I dont think it does much. There is something called More Bloom its water soluble. It's a 0-10-10. That is organic. Self wicking always helps but when they are big... lots of watering is best. 30 gallons is the right size.

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN Is a little nitrogen in the NPK (5-15-10) OK to use in the high phosphorus stage of growing watermelons?
I did it wrong. I’ll get the 0-10-10 this time but I usually TRY to go as clean as possible. This info is good. Funny how I gardened a few decades ago and did ok. Now it seems harder. Hmmm
Ok I have a ton of leaves and now plenty of flowers to prune. We shall see
@@enna4986 I'm hearing that every other feeding of soluable fertilizer should be high nitrogen.
I don't know how to prune my container melons.
I have a watermelon plant that is past it's prime in a small transplant pot. I have no where to put it at the moment. Do you recommend I start again with new seeds or at least try and stick it somewhere?
Fresh seed for sure. Direct sown is good too. You want great roots and the greenery will take off.
can make a nursely for watermelon then transplant without putting seed in a plastic?
I am not sure what you mean.

It's crazy how each farmer gives such opposite information about growing the same crop. I just listened to another TH-camr who advised not to water watermelon. Maybe 1-2 inches per week.
Toward the end it is is good to decrease watering. But watering is always hard because tossing out frequency doesnt, include what your local temps, highs, and rainfall are.
