blight has got our tomatoes as you could see. It's just not a good year for tomatoes. Oh well! What would you like to see us try? -Luke
I am growing charleston grey water melons
I can never get a fruit to set, I have no problem with cantaloupe but watermelons? I'm always just a flower farmer
I’m growing Dixie queen and black diamond on cattle panels. So far so good. In central PA. Love your seeds and channel!!
This is so helpful! I’ve not had great luck with watermelon in the past – think I’ve only tried twice. But, trying again this year and have some cute watermelon growing. 🥰 I didn’t think about fertilizing them now 🤦♀️ so will get on that. 😊
i bought your trifecta fertilizer a couple years ago and love it. my watermelons and cantaloupes have never tasted better. i have to order more for next year because i have run out. if im smart ill double my order.
I have several Sugar Baby melons almost ready to pick.
Beautiful watermelon!
I'm growing Kamari, Sugar Baby and Kaho. Kamari has PM so I'm worried about it coming to fruition.
Can we get Trifecta+ in Australia?
2nd year for Minnesota Midget melons. They are so sweet and just right for one person! They climb our trellis just fine with no support.
I have a sugar baby that doesn’t seem large enough, but the tendril is dry! I also have it on a trellis so there is no field spot to help me. When do I pick?? I’m so nervous to harvest too soon, but that dry tendril is throwing me off! Thanks to anyone that can help me!
Thank you for this video. It would be nice to see a video on diseases. I’m fairly new to gardening and my watermelons start out with black spots that turn into “scars”.
So glad you told the truth about the watermelon you were eating. For a second I thought my plants were so far behind!!😂
I'm growing Lemon drop, Early Girl, and one other larger variety, as well as Charentais, Canary Melon, and Honeydew. My watermelon is about the same size as yours right now on the Early Girl. and one of the Lemon Drop plants. I'm growing the two smaller watermelon types on a cattle panel and the other on the ground on landscape fabric.
You sure do have some nice mellons
Can’t eat muskmelon anymore. What I wish I had done was used tall labels so I would know which watermelon was the smaller ones 😂 can’t get to the middle where tag is.
2nd year trying to grow black diamond watermelons. Last years wasn’t bad but they just were not very sweet! Layered in fertilizer before planting and so far they’re doing great! Blooms coming on nicely. I may work a bit of the trifecta in to the soil once I see fruit.
Sigh of relief when he said it was a prop melon 😅 I was panicking over the thought he hadn’t washed it before cutting it straight from the garden 😂 😮💨
Great info Luke! I love the trifecta. So helpful n
I like rock melon
planted a bush sugar baby but it got eaten up by mites i think just as it was setting fruit. set out a hale's best next and its trying to set fruit right now, haven't seen any pest pressure yet.
Thanks for the help, this year I am growing a lot more fruit so this really helped.
I love your idea of growing the smaller watermelons in the more northern regions i'm in North Idaho, and it's almost impossible to bring a large melon to completion of growth by end of season. Thanks!! 🍉
zinc boron and one other trace
Luke my husband accidentally hit one of my my watermelons with a weed whacker and cut it 1/4 -1/2 if an inch deep. Do you think I can save it. I am in a zone 4-5 so no time to have the plant grow a new melon. What do you think?
Melons are Not nearly 97% water. They are about 90% water. I have done nutrition research for years but you don't need that to just look at some data tables.
How can i help get rid of worms on my watermelon ? Is there anything i can spray on them to keep away worms
