If you don’t have allot of space, you can also try growing your melons vertically
by letting them grow for a couple of weeks, them propping the vines up on a “mesh” fence that has 2″ sq. gaps in the fencing, “training” the plant to grow up the fencing instead of growing along the ground!!!

@Cknechel1 The melons take up a lot of energy from the plant and because the plant devides that energy over seven or eight fruits, the fruits itself won’t get enough. If you cut the amount of melons per plant back to 1 – 3 they should be able to grow bigger.
Considering I would have to now purchase: pesticide, the actual seeds, pots, and gardening equipment, not to mention sacrifice so much energy and time, I honestly would rather just buy the seedless plate of watermelon from the grocery store from time to time I get a craving for watermelon.
i have icebox watermelon and they grew decent vines, however there are about seven melons roughly the size of a golf ball and they all just stopped growing any bigger in about a month. Please help, what should i do?
0:09 is not accurate, the woman wasn’t black. They need to explain that in the vast majority of cases, blacks would be the ones eating watermelon. I hope to see this change in future videos.
Once I spit a watermelon seed behind the stone grill and luckily it fell on a crack.
After a year it started growing and told my parents that I grew it by accident, but they were like “yeah right” and killed it =_=. Parents never listen D:
I love Mormons But the Gold Plates that have never been found and only translated by one man is dangerous. I believe in the Bible because I know there is a God and the archeological evidence and the 30,000 different manuscripts we all can translate is perfect if you study it with a scptic mindset you will believe.
