Last year I let my grass grow high. When I mowed it I found a few well established volunteer watermelons near my burn pile. I did nothing to them and they grew me 3 large delicious watermelons. It was an insult on my previous attempts at growing watermelons which had been complete failures.

The interesting thing about volunteers plants is, often, the ones that survive are the strongest plants, so they often have an advantage over varieties you buy from seed shops. However, I wouldn't recommend that growing method for the seeds you plant. The chances of that vine getting disease or pest damage is much higher than well-cared-for vines clear of grass and weeds. The strongest pepper plant I ever grew was one I didn't plant - it was a volunteer Tabasco plant that came up on its own: kzread.info/dash/bejne/pHyMj5aTe8Wxc8o.htmlsi=XsY71obtqB9oFk_I

pruning:....When I started growing watermelons I started with the crimson sweet..These were like 25 -30 lb melons..first time I had vines growing all over the place and in my neighbors yard. They climbed everywhere....The next year I started pruning them and had bigger melons..These are a great variety, but too big for the average fridge.This year I'm growing the sugar babies to cut down refer space...Good luck to everyone that loves watermelons.

This was the best damn video I ever seen on gardening. U hit on every question I had. No need to even watch any other vids. Thank u

growing up in rural SC where the dirt was fertile me and my dad would plant watermelon+cantelope in the ground every year and had good results without ever fertilizing them. then when I moved out of state and bought a house in a less fertile suburban area, I tried the same and got absolutely wrecked. 6 plants and maybe got 2 small watermelons. I had always just assumed that you could just stick anything in the tilled ground and it would come up fine. Makes you realize why people fought all those wars over fertile land.

Often times in these urban areas that get built, they occupy land that was once very fertile farmland or forest. When the houses are built the top soil is removed, some may actually make it back onto the lot, but often other dirt is brought in for the area the home goes on and it's not very good soil. It's good for building on, but not for planting. It can take years of bringing in material to enrich that soil enough to have a nice garden. We have a decent clay soil, and after bringing in a lot of bagged top soil which the base was a more sandy soil mixed with wood which ALWAYS happens with those bagged soils, I now have soil that's a good balance and I just have to bring in the organic materials to make it more loamy. And this is for raised beds which are very large.

Here on the coast, we live on sandy loam where the only things that grow well are pine trees, weeds and fire anthills. But hey, the drainage is great, at least. If you're willing to truck in enough compost and mulch and fertilize things adequately, you can have great results. The dirt here is pale and sad looking until you work with it.

I strongly recommend mulching the plants well and moving the plants into shade, but letting the vines sprawl into the sun. You are going to have your work cut out for you irrigating them. I can't stress this enough - if you work full-time and leave for the day, you will get to the point where the vines can literally dry out and die over the course of a work shift, so please keep them sheltered to protect them from the sun. You may also want to get yourself a large plant saucer and set the bags in them to retain moisture. I grew Sugar Babies in 20 gallon bags and had good results, but even in 20 gallon bags, they needed water 1-2 times a day here in NC. If you're in South Florida given your username, you're going to really have to stay on top of them.

I think you can do it if you select smaller varieties like a bush Sugar Baby, or something like Mini Love, which only get to be a few pounds. Especially if you let them sprawl on that black weed barrier. It gets 3-5 degrees warmer when the sun is out. It doesn't sound like a lot, but over 80-100 days, it accumulates like an avalanche. It's a game changer.

Those wire panels might benefit the vines not blowing around on the slick black ground cover.

If you're growing large cantaloupes that cannot be trellised vertically because the fruit weight is too large, I would grow them identically to these watermelons.

Hi, new gardener here. You used 5-3-3 fertilizer. I have 12-5-7 fertilizer. Can I just use half as much? And thank you so much for the wealth of information. You have no idea how much you've helped me. I'm in the piedmont of NC, so I experience a lot of the same things you do.

This video came out just in time, i live in Phoenix and ive been working on half an acre of open desert to start a micro farm i had just planted my watermelon plant in my raised bed under full unobstructed sunlight however i did add a nice layer of mini flake to the bed but now after watching this video im thinking i probably need a shade cloth too 😅

In rural areas there are so many places to buy fertilizer by the bag that you don't need to pay high walmart prices on a tiny bag. They sell it in any NPK you ask for and mix it on the spot. Though you need to buy at least 50 pounds at a time. Their typical ag customers buy like 40,000 pounds at a time though.

You may be able to grow that variety.

Have you tried the morbloom from Alaska? It is 0-10-10. I use the fish fertilizer and the morbloom together in a water can all the time for pretty much everything.

Growing Grafted watermelons this year first time ever. They should be way more resistant to illnesses and with bigger yields. Wish me luck

Have you tried a fertilizer doser ? I have one that injects at a 4% rate and is based on flow alone. Hooked it up to my hose and can deep water or lightly spray the plant depending on the nozzle. The fertilizer injectors I have used in the past ,EZ Flo, suck if you use organic fertilizers as the fertilizer just sinks and never empty the tank of the fertilize unless you have a way to keep the fertilizer suspended, which defeats their purpose.

I've seen another interesting way of dealing with the sprawling vines which is to train them up a sturdy trellis, not a tall one and then have a top to the trellis so the vines crawl over a flat surface of trellis, although an arch would work fine too, and then when the fruiting starts, direct the fruit to hang below the trellis and as they get big enough, support each fruit with a netting. I KNOW this has to help with SOME pests and disease but it's not going to protect against everything. This method also provides shade for the base of the plants and root system so that seems to be a common theme in hotter areas, which is where this was done. Hey good video, once again I'm getting stuff stuck into the brain to think about when I decide to grow watermelon. I'm more of a squash guy, though I need ones that can grow in more tropical areas.

@TheMillennialGardener

I do not recommend trellising watermelons. I tried this one year, and the problem is the vines cannot hold the weight of the fruit. As soon as the melons get to be a few pounds, they snap off and explode on the ground. It's a total disaster. You have to take folding chairs or stack concrete blocks to support them. It just doesn't work. I grow small melons like Kajari, Honey Rock cantaloupe, Lemon Drop and a few others, and those small melons can be grown vertically, because they only weigh about a pound. Watermelons should only be sprawled on the ground due to weight.

Can you please do a similar video for different squash plants such as zucchini, acorn, pumpkins? 😊 This is very helpful, and it seems like a lot of this applies to the pumpkin squash I’m “attempting” to grow.

Haven't had any problems since i started growing them. Zone 7 They don't always like to be transplanted if the roots are really overgrown. So use a bigger container for them or plant out before roots get too big

I’ve been using fish emulsion for a few years now, and for some reason, I’ve been using 1 tablespoon per gallon of water, or 2 tablespoons for my 2-gallon watering can. I was wondering why you were using 2-3 tablespoons per gallon, so I decided to look at the label on the bottle. Sure enough, it says 2 tablespoons per gallon. I haven’t had any problems with under-fertilizing, so it never occurred to me that I wasn’t using the recommended amount of fish emulsion.
