I hope you enjoyed the bloopers at the end 😝 By the way, I’ve put a few extra growing tips in the video description which might help. Feel free to share the video with anyone that might be interested and thanks heaps for watching! 🌱 😊

You honestly must be one of the most patient and organised youtubers! Every time I watch your videos I think about what a job it must be to take all this footage, store it, then sort through it and edit it together for a consistent narrative that sometimes spans months or years! But it pays off; every video is a delight. Thank you for doing what you do!

Unfortunately I often find gardening videos annoying, without any structure or just click baits... But your channel!! It's pure joy to watch it🌱🌱💚💚

I am a 17 year old who hardly goes outside and I have never planted anything in my life, somehow I still find your videos very entertaining and I've been subscribed for a few months already lol

For transplanting anything in the Cucurbit family, it seems that any root disturbance is basically a death sentence, so your newspaper idea is fantastic. Biggest thing is to remember that trying to plant multiple plants in a single container that will require separation upon transplanting will ruin your melon dreams.

This is soothing in a way that only individuals who love plants and are from New Zealand can deliver on. As a Canadian with harsh winters and fleeting hot summers I really want to grow more when I can.

I cannot get over how large your plants grew in such a short time! They look amazing

I actually grew watermelons this year and they turned out great! Although I didn’t do the best job because it was my first time planting watermelons, it was really fun and felt very rewarding when I finally harvested and ate them. I had a batch of 6 watermelons. Don’t know what type they were though.

I'm in south Louisiana USA. Quick tip if you have a bit too much wet weather or want to allow them to ripen on the vine longer to encourage extra sweetness, rotate the melons on the vine to keep the white / yellow spot on the bottom from turning into rot.

Thank you, Kalem, for this awesome video and tips! I just started growing my watermelons, and I didn't know about the splitting🤯. I was worried if I needed to make bigger mounds or not, but now I know they're perfect! Right now, the plants are about the size of my hands. Hopefully I'll get some fruit this year! 🍉

Hey I am from India 👍. I appreciate your efforts. This one is awesome . Tasting the fruit and describing it taste is very happy to see . Keep it up 👍

One have to appreciate the great efforts you put on these videos! They're very entertaining and informative

It's very nice to see someone enjoying the fruits of his labour..literally

You've motivated me to germinate every seed I find and see what happens!!! 💚👍🏽 Thanks mate

Your channel is the best of two of my favourite things: growing my own food, and (what I consider to be) my second home New Zealand. Thank you so much for your in depth and really inspiring video's!!

Ye he he , I can see the Bottle gourd in the Background which you have used in your previous videos, That was Really a Superb video.

One of these days I'll remember that your growing seasons are flipped compared to here in the US before I start watching a video and not be slightly confused for the first 20 seconds lol. It's a nice change of pace that you collect a whole bunch of footage over the course of growing something for one video rather than making multiple videos over the course of growth. Your channel has a nice laidback calmness, and it's easy to see how much you enjoy growing things and all your animals. I also enjoy getting to see a whole bunch of cool and unique plants being grown that I can't grow due to my climate. Thank you for sharing all this with us :).

Man I'm seriously amazed with all your work and dedication! Whenever I see your channel I miss the good old days when I was younger and helped on my grandpa vineyard back in Germany. Those Watermelons looked amazing and hopefully I can grow some up here in México as the weather is basically summer all year long. Been trying to get some grapes up and running and with the pandemic I finally did since I had the time. Now I'm following your vids for dragonfruit since its a local fruit where I'm living and if the spring/summer is kind, maybe I will try watermelons as well. Thanks for all the info you give us!

In the past month I must have watched all your videos mate !! Now rewatching. Really like how you explain every minutiae and also love what you do!! Thank you Kalem 👏

I absolutely adore your landscape. I would live at that location today! The view is awesome. I love farming and chickens around the yard. Oh!

The newspaper seed pot is so clever. I really like that!

Deeply interested, indeed you are such a great teacher Sir....i have learned a lot about Horticulture from my Dadd who is now no more...he passed away last year' he really taught me a lot when it comes to Horticulture...trully what am learning from you Sir is very different...i remember on his words he used to say this to me that son what you are learning from me you as a youth you can use any techniq you want to improve this ,cause technology is growing every day...and this are the words that i will never forget in my life, May his soul rest in Peace..he was just a great farmer like you Sir

You are living my dream 😍❤️! Keep doing you thing 😊👍👍👍

The sound of that knife cutting the Moon and Stars is amazing. I don't do ASMR but yeah. Also it's so nice to see watermelon with black seeds in them -- the only kind my local grocery stores sell is that seedless kind.

The smile you give at the end when you eat the watermelons...! 😁 It must feel so incredibly rewarding to (literally) eat the fruits of your labor! The melons looked very tasty.

I like that you documented your watermelon journey. Thank you!

The golden melon looks delicious!

wow. That's amazing. I got so much knowledge about planting watermelon. Thank you Man. keep your great works.. 🤩🤩🍉🍉

When I was a kid, I grow some watermelon's from seed from the fruit we got from the store. Never got a good fruit though but the plants themselves were great!

I live in Southern California and I planted a yellow watermelon , I am now at the Flower Stage and I see the round watermelons . I am so Excited I can't wait for them to get big and juicy so far so good.

always success bro, greetings from Indonesian farmers

You could also pickle the small ones. They are amazing. Look up for a recipe. In my childhood I've had apples, quince fruit, white grapes and unrip plums, all pickled.

I am now growing these types of melons because of this video! They are doing good.

I love the way you make the video with piece and patience, waiting for 3 months. Nature is best in world🤩❤

What a fantastic video dude, as always! Such stunning varieties; cannot get over how beautiful the Moon and Stars are. They look exactly like a Splendid Tree Frog. Once I get a patch large enough I'd absolutely love to grow these myself!! 🍉

Production quality 📈

And I bet it's the most satisfying when you're thirsty from working out on your land.

Thanks for another great video Kalem! Really motivating too! 💪 I always love how positive you are and how much effort and enthusiasm you put into your videos 😊 Just thought I'd let you know, I followed your dragon fruit tutorial recently and now I've got 20+ seedlings! Did yours survive/fruit? 😌 In the meantime, I hope you and yours have a very Happy Easter, all the best from the UK 🇬🇧🇳🇿

When I think of summer, I think of the hot Arizona weather

Very helpful and educational, I am watching from Papua New Guinea. Thank you.

I once met this guy on a site like omegle and had a good talk with him, back then he was working at Auckland Zoo with the primates, a while later I saw him in the news papers for his work there. Such a good dude, so humble!

the end of the video was so funny, it brings those moments weve all had in the garden together

Man I love your channel! And your quality is even improving! Inspires me to live like you do one day. Looks like a very satisfying way of life. Thanks for the content.

Sir im so happy to discover ur channel. Its really very helpful and informative.. thank u.

Your a cool dude. Thank you for your presentation. When you eat them, it sounds soooo good!!!

When you say the word summer ice cream sundaes come to my mind

Your videos are more enjoyable than others KZfaqrs

I love watermelons and I drool while watching this video.

Slugs can be captured with beer in a low plate filled with beer. The cheaper the beer the better. Slugs and snails drink the beer, get drunk, fall in, and drown.

your videos are amazing, informative & very Inspiring!!😍Thankyou!!

I subscribed immediately because I am kiwi-grower too, not only kiwi. All that videos looks amazing, I want to watch it all asap! And man looks winsome. Niiice!

The chocolate sheep is so cute! Great content as always and my mouth really watered on that yellow WM🤤

Great timing I just planted some sugar baby seeds, but intentional lol. I like them small 😁 My first time trying to grow watermelons!

Greetings from Florida. I am in love with the moon 🌙 and stars ✨ watermelon 🍉. Absolutely beautiful! Thanks for those ripening tips! I’m giving watermelons a try in my garden this summer.

Nice. I actually planted my first melon early this year motivated by your first video. And my first bite of a watermelon. I'm 37🙈

Great video, thankyou for this… really good editing skills 👍👍👍

Great vídeo ya have here Kalem, I'll remember this when i plant some sugar babies!👍😋🍉

Those were some interesting melons! I honestly didn't know there were different types of watermelons, I have only seen the standard watermelons in the states. I would love to grow the Moon and Stars they are just so pretty.

Such. A. Vibe.

What a great channel you have. I really like how realistic and down to earth you are. Thank you!

Thankyou for rescuing battery hens, they really needed that help! Hoping to grow my own watermelons soon.

12:17 Sharing with the sheep.. really a kind gesture. Good on ya.

Positively feel good videos you have here, greetings from the Philippines 😊

These videos are so enjoyable. Wish I had the climate to grow what you show us

Nothing like a watermelon straight from the garden 👍

I never missed one video of yours,the food you made for your family looks very delicious and healthy,you are blessed to have an extraordinary talent,thanks for sharing your life with us

This is incredible! I live in Florida, and this summer I’ll try to grow my own watermelons

Thanks brother, i was thinking of planting the "Janosik" watermelon, and your video helped me really much because now i know what to do

The sheep/wasp cameo made me laugh 😂

Love watching your videos. All the way from The Bahamas 🇧🇸.

When I was little I used to eat watermelon outside and spit the seeds. One summer I got surprised with a watermelon in the flower garden so I think its easy to grow a watermelon

Ive just stumbled across your vid's and am a happy camper! They are fantastic. You dont waffle on annoyingly and share good info clearly and succinctly. A breath of fresh aur from many. Love the bloopers at end of this one. Where in nz are you? And thanks for great vids..keep it up.

Thanks for the awesome and relaxing video! ☺️☺️

Came for the handsome but really loved your videos. The fact you show start to finish and make it look effortless. Very cool.

Loved the newspaper pot, I´ll give a try now, we are in seeding season in Chile now.

Thanks for the tips. Growing watermelon for the first time (at least the first time in adulthood, on my own) so I'm getting all the hints I can!

You are pure gold, respect!

Best explanation of planting on a mound that I've seen

wish i had a place where i can grow stuff nice plants good job

Excellent video. Thank you!!

I love your videos 😍very clear and informative 👍 from 🇸🇦

Love your videos! Thanks for another great one!

I’m Swedish 🇸🇪 and I have never ever seen that yellow type of watermelon, it looks very tasty.

Quite a harvest u got there😍..i tried to grow them at my home but after getting of orange size they stopped growing ..but i will try again ..dont forget about the home tour video n the plants u grafted want to see them in next videos ..🤩🤩

Thank you for the primer. I learned a lot, PLUS, I love watermelon. I learned of a new variety through your video. You do a great job of teaching.

watching this really makes me think there isn't enough time in a day. I have a lot of hobbies that take up a lot of my time and growing fruites is not one of them; but I really wouldn't mind getting into this.

I Feel like you living in heaven ✨️ 😌 and planting is my favourite things to do

Hey you inspier me i stated growing trees i just got a pomergranet tree and a banana tree im so happy and i always watch your videos ty for the good content Kalem

a word that defines your channel: amazing. when the notifications of your work arrive, I'm sure it will be worth watching. your content always shows much more than the images! you can see his dedication and love for what he does, always wanting to make his followers satisfied. thank you very much for the beautiful work. God bless you and your family 🙏 a big kiss from Brazil 🇧🇷👍

Love the ending! 😂😂😂 Thanks for the video! 👍🏽

My pops loves to grow abunch of vegetables an fruit one time he was growing huge green watermelons an just one came out gold gold just like that it was one of the most delicious watermelon iv ever eatin

I’m jealous. I’ve tried multiple time to grow Moon and Stars. I live in a arid desert environment with extreme heat 3-4 months of the year. The first year I planted late and the melons only grew to softball size. The other two years I lost most of my garden to extreme heat. We are in a serious drought situation so I’ll be transitioning some produce to indoor hydroponics. I will be reconfiguring my garden to create a less hostile microclimate🤞. I might give the Moon and Stars another try.

Those gold watermelons look really tempting.

Love the ending 😄 dam wasps

Thank you for sharing the tutorial on how to add watermelon from seeds to fruiting watermelon plants and their fruit results. Very detailed and thank you very much..

The slug :- WhAt waS tHat aLL AboUt, I wAs Juz hanging aRouNd .... 🤔 Nice video, keep them coming 👍🏼 =) .

Aloha! Well done and very informative. We are on the Big Island of Hawaii, on the east/wetter side where the rainfall is pretty intense. Did well growing pumpkins but kept the mound under a grow tarp where I could control the water. Hand pollinated most of them. Want to try watermelons next. Haven’t had the yellow variety since I was a kid. Most the melons in our local markets are the smaller round kind; but we should be able to grow larger ones. Glad you mentioned goat manure. We have a couple that produce a steady supply. LOL. Thanks again for the inspiration. I’ll check out some of your other videos as well 😎👍

This video was so satisfying to watch! Keep up the great work Kalem.

Favorite kiwi gardener ever 🌻

Me with no gardening exp and it’s the start of winter Yeah I should do this
