I used to grow watermelons the same way then I switched to growing up .It saves more space for me and i have not lost a single Mellon since . I dont have a trellis or cattle fencing or anything either .I just ponded a few metal fence post in the ground and ran twine back and forth then weave the vines up as the grow .I use some old hammock netting I had for the melon's . I live in western PA

I'm planting watermelon this year for the first time. Thank you for excellent advice!👍🙏 pray for you to have an abundance harvest❣

The minute you said “Ohio” I slammed that subscribe button! I am also in Ohio and growing watermelon for the first time this year. Because of the clay soil I built a raised garden bed for my garden. Will definitely be interested in your videos. This was so helpful!

Thank you!!!! I started my seeds indoors and I appreciate you sharing both in ground spacing and in containers with mulch. This is my first attempt at growing Watermelon.

Smashing advice. Have a cracking Summer! God bless. M

I like the way you made your explanation. Thanks

You did such an excellent job on your garden

I wrapped my watermelon plant around a tomato cage. Looks very pretty.

This was a very helpful video. Thank you for the info and encouragement.

Wow beautiful watermelon 🍉

Excellent how-to video, it gave me confidence. This is my first year trying to grow food, growing watermelon seemed too challenging, but after watching this, I will grow Bush Sugar Baby and Keho next Spring. Thanks for sharing Christa.

You're channel is one of my gardening favorites. Your plants and flowers are beautiful.

Super helpful and I love that there's no extra nonsense to wade through! :) I have four little seedlings and was curious if I could put them into a container outdoors. 😊💓

A great teaching video! Thank you so much. I am happy....

I love your channel, very informative. Thank you for the tips and ideas you shared.

Lovely video. Quite inspiring.

This was very detailed and helpful. Thank you.

First time seeing your video love it.thank you

Amazing..I like, the watermelon 😀👍

Nice! I got watermelons on the brain and this video came in just in time! Thanks, Christa Blessings

Thanks for the advice!

We planted watermelon last year by our downspout in backyard. The soil is rich with compost there. We started them in July and in Oct we had tiny melons that were not quite ripe. Starting them earlier this time. We only planted about 10 seeds from a melon we had. It was fun to watch them grow. Like the tomato cage idea. Cantalopes also will grow up latticework. Melons might do that.

I really enjoyed your video. Planning to try watermelon again this year. Last year I planted them in a small pot about the same as you did but my watermelons grew so small and ended up the size of cantaloupes, 😂 but turned out to be sooo sweet

Chicago love.

Nice! just how i love to plant them....tks

I live in the Philippines and I started to plant watermelons about a month ago and I came here to get more tips.

This is a very Informative video

Live in Virginia and we keep getting random cold rainy days 😢. Made me peper plants turn Yellow. Had to shade them from the rain

Thank you. I love the way you do the video. I subs

You are the only Gardner that I know of on KZfaq. That grows successfully watermelons. The information that you give a simple and straight to the point. I grow watermelons years ago accident I put the plant in the ground lost track of it looked around one day and there were two beautiful sugar baby watermelons. I also have clay soil. This year I plan on doing the fabric and also mixing amending soil in just a location where I'm planting.

Great tutorial on planting watermelons! We have the red clay soil here, so lots of mending the soil here as well.

Nice video. Great looking melon seedlings!

I planted"bush surgarbaby" from Backer Creek Seeds Company" the vine ran over 14' easy.. Thanks for Teaching and good job Lady and yes Ohio has some cement type clay.

Overall very good video thanks! I hope my suggestions help too

I’m gonna try to grow in containers along with in the ground this year.

I came across your video and I like the way you explain things well. Now am your new subscriber, and thanks for sharing.

Good job

Great video. Thanks for sharing

Great information,thank you,im a newbie (16 days in) to this 5 gallon container gardening,i bought a watermelon start today but from seeing this video i gotta also get a trellis and some stakes,now what happens if i dont get the trellis,will it not grow??? New Jersey....

I have 20 deer in my yard every day, so I have to grow things in my back room. I live at the Jersey Shore and, hopefully, will have enough sun to grow the bush baby. Thank you so much for your video's.

The video you share is great. I'm learing your way..

Thank you!!!

I loved this video. wish I had seen if last month. So he!Paul for me with regard to the clay soil amendment tips. I won't be playing ting watermelon in the clay soil because it is in the back of the yard where it is partially shady. I have just gotten a idea on a container that I can use. The roots don't grow very deeply do they?

You're reminding me that I need to give my watermelon plants more food! Only my Klondikes are looking like they are making good progress. My Kaho, not so much. I'll have to watch yours grow.

Hot Texas weather in December 😆

Hi . I found professional land scape fabric at sams this year . It’s 4 ft by 225 ft . It was like 27. And some change the first one I bought then I went back and went back to reg price it was like 32.00 I think so I got 2 of them . It also comes with very strong and nice hooks to poke in the ground. I used two rolls to do my cantaloupe and watermelon. Yelp my rows are kinda long . Lol

You can prune the vines, too...

I have been using the same soil for 7 years now organic that I made myself and it has gotten better with age I amend it every year according to its needs and during the winter I compost in it I rent my home and my landlord won't allow a compost pile so I place a large bucket with a lid and no bottom in the center of a very large container and every time I dump my scraps in it I cover it with mushroom compost boy are my plants loving it and I do change which amendments I use each year this year it was cow manure next year chicken as I do fear using the same manures every year would make it heavy but then again most manures have peat moss in them already I thank GOD every day for the garden he has given me and I think that S the most important thing I can do for MY GARDENt give GOD ALL THE GLORY

Great vide!

Ur video was detailed and informative. U anticipated and answered every question I would have wanted answered. This makes me wonder, could u do the same for cucumbers? I'm planning on growing cucumbers in containers, hanging containers. I have several questions but I'm concerned about the root systems of cucumbers. I hardly have very little land space as I am a renter. And if anything, I want to be able to relocate with my pots. Keep up the good work 👍

Gypsum and peat has helped to make my compacted clay soil fluffy and beautiful. I've been using this combo along with lots of rabbit manure mixed with composted leaves and food scraps for several years and the transformation of my soil has been truly amazing. I mulch with wood chips because that's what we have on hand and it helps to conserve water so well that even in the hottest weather I'm still able to find that the soil is moist under the chips. I don't need to water as often as when I only used leaf mold mulch.

Thank you. Wow. In containers. Ok i tried last yr. But wasn't so good. A size of a tomato lol. I'm trying this year. Cant wait. Thanks again.

My watermelon vines blew around in the wind after mulching...worried about damage to the plants I let them grow out past the mulch so the tendrils could attach to grass to hold in place. Also have red clay soil with many amendments,but I am amazed at the growth and fruiting of my plants.

Is there another video when you show them growing on the trellis and with the watermelons on it?

Gypsum can break up clay soil. It also adds calcium to the soil too.

Love you😘

Thank you so much for this timely video. I am growing sugar Bush watermelons under grow light right now and plan to transfer them into containers when they are ready. I saw you plant 2 seedlings in 1 pot. Is this possible to do in a Smart pot large enough for two watermelons? What would be the issue with watering? What sun exposure do they require? Thanks so much!

WONDERFUL video. Thank you for sharing. QUESTION: do you have a follow up video showing how your watermelons in the containers did right straight through to harvest?

nice videos thanks useful

Hey girl I'm in southern Indiana. I hear ya on the clay. Been working for years getting my soil right

روعه روعه روعه روعه جدا

You’re like one of the best people that make videos online honestly you cover the soil and the types of soil and how you can amend the soil you are so thorough right away you get to the point I just you can do videos on pretty much anything and I would watch it I’m totally subscribing now can you help me clean my house and organize because that would be great if you do videos on that Ha ha watermelon 🍉 love 💗 summer 🌞

You can make compose in using vermiculture or try bokashi method

Hi new to your channel, thank you for sharing. I have some sugar watermelons planted in a container. Trying to figure out do I need to remove them or what?

I am planning on growing watermelon in 20 Gallon Grow Bags this year. Do you think it would be ok to put 2 plants in each bag or just 1?

Lucky to watch this video today and I subscribed immediately. I pray I get a response though. My question please... how many days do I nurse and water watermelon seeds before transplanting. ? What fertilizer is best for watermelon growth? What flower do I cut off to pollinate each other? Finally do I need to prune or cut off some flowers or leaves? Please your immediate response will be highly appreciated as I am ready to farm right away. Thanks a lot.

thank you very instructive. you really work hard for your soil. to make it easier without buying so much stuff you can make a trench and bury a fallen tree, cover it with big branches and smaller ones at the top. then you add your enriched soil on top. and the worms will do the work. also you can cut the vine if you see that you already have max 2 melons growing. there is no need to let it grow long. the shortest the vine bearing a fruit the biggest and better the fruit... nice work though.

It's best to use potting mix and perlite to your soil to instead of potting soil.

What size diameter pot is the container for the watermelons? 16 or 20” diameter Thanks!

What size pot would be good to plant watermelons in? I have a 16 in. tote,can I plant 2 in there?

Awesome video

2 questions: how big should watermelon containers be? I have two watermelon seedlings growing next to each other. Can I think one and replant somewhere else?

Cow manure smells good!

How many watermelons did you get off of one vine of sugar baby last year. I am planting sugar baby as well and was only planting on putting one plant in a pot, however I am curious as to how many watermelon that creates.

What kind of soil did you start the seeds in?

Nice tequenic darling

What are the dimensions of the pot you're using: how many inches across X how many inches tall?

How big are the pots you used?

In which moñth will planted de watermelon

And containers will need cal- nitrate or composted eggshells with grass clippings that have been digested for 3months

This is my first time planting watermelons! I have eleven that are grown from seeds, we have a lot of other garden stuff, so we have limited space left, do you have any tips?

Watermelon spot when done coukd be enhanced by making a green manure planting. Sunhemp is great just get a two by 4 and use ot to lay it down then put cardboard on top then plant as you normally do no more buying bagbamendments

I have clay soil as well. What type of fertilizer do you use?

Add PLAY SAND to help break up the clay...works in Ohio clay.

How do you know when to add more fertilizer?

How did it work out with two watermelons in same pot? Thinking of planting two in same pot. Can I plant one sugar baby and one cantaloupe in same 20 gal pot?

What size container are you using? I would like to try this

This year, my pots have 1" holes in the soil going far down. Mice? Anyone else? Do I need to do anything?

Good afternoon I’ve set some watermelon seeds in some pots and water them , how long will they take to germinate?

Hi im in ohio also. Do you mind telling me where you buy the mushroom compost from?

How deep do you break up the soil and how far in each direction do you add amendments?

How many gallons would you say those containers were?

How many plants if using a 1\2 whiskey barrell?

You might be able to save some money on mushroom compost by visiting a mushroom farm. Where I am they mound it by the road for any one who wants it.

U need to use wicking tubs

Hallo is this plastic long pepper or what else

.....I have a question ...what about used kitty litter ...we've always had cats and I have dumped the litter in the neighboring woods ..Would it be of any use as fertilizer in the garden? ..I don't think I've ever seen this question anywhere .
