I'm growing these (the same variety) this year for the first time, looking forward to seeing how they come along. I've tried growing melons in the past with no success, but I've gotten much better at growing cucumbers and squash so fingers crossed that carries over a bit.
I was given a starter of one of these but I rent and am not allowed to plant in the ground or make a bed. Do you think there would be another way to plant these (containers etc.)? I haven't had much luck looking into it or finding such info on this specific melon. May just have to gift it to someone else 😔
i have an insulated cover for my watermelons that i throw on towards the end of september, and my last harvest was in early november this past year (in missouri btw)
@@farrajj3288 I think the term you're searching for is open pollenated vs hybrid. Open polllenated plants will reproduce the same variety as the parent plant from saved seed. Hybrid plants require 2 separate parents, and saving the seeds from hybridized plants will give you mixed results from both parents, and it rarely will be exactly the same as the variety you saved it from.
These Watermelon Are Delicious!!

Ship me some yellow water melon
It’s hard to find yellow watermelon here in TX. I been lookin everywhere no one has it.
I should have these seeds available soon in my Ebay store.
Trying my first yellow and orange watermelons in the garden this year. What is their average size ?
There are over 1000 yellow & orange Watermelon varieties so check the seeds pack or plant tag for info but this variety gets around 6-10lbs.

I do grow melons in large pots. You could plant 2 plants per 5 gallon pot/bucket just make sure you keep up with nutrients, they are heavy feeders.
How many plants did you have planted there?
I'm not sure but I plant 1 every 14" or so. Probably around 20 of this variety..
Do watermelons keep producing all season like indeterminate tomatoes? My growing season is 7 months.
Yes they do. As long as they have moisture, sun & nutrients they will keep producing until frost or just above freezing..

Is it an heirloom
No, this variety is under 20yrs old as of now.
@@toadstoolgardens9579 but if I grew it can I save the seeds?
@@farrajj3288 oh yes, for sure! You can save seeds from any fruit or vegetable to re grow even if its not heirloom..

Just a heads up it's pronounced lee-la-naw
