- Join me to grow Watermelons from seed and follow the whole process of growing right through to harvesting and tasting the fruit we've grown together. I'll be growing heirloom varieties that are a little unusual and look pretty exotic, tropical and interesting. These unique watermelons can be grown in the same way as regular watermelons, so join me on this experiment and learn how to grow watermelon from start to finish. We will go through all of the watermelon growing stages, from seed to foliage to flowers to fruiting. I'll be talking about soil use, fertilizing melons and how to know when watermelons are ripe.

Make sure you watch the 2nd video to see what the other interesting watermelon varieties looked like on the inside!
I've grown melons in the states my entire life, My grandparents grew them in abundance for the farmers market. I could tell at a glance that the plants were stressed. They should have been watered much more often, if drainage allowed. when doing so always water at the base to prevent vine rot with random water on the vines if you live in an arid environment without regular rainfall. For sweeter watermelons and cantaloupes when the plant starts vining and again when small 1-inch melons appear, spray the vines and then water with 6 1/2 tablespoons Epsom salts and 3 1/2 tablespoons borax in 5 gallons of water. (Epsom salt is NOT a salt actually, its magnesium) the split in what we locally (slang) call "yellow meated watermelons" is from dehydration. A great video though and a fantastic first attempt. If you need some seeds, let me know and I'll send you some varieties along with printed instructions of how we consistantly produce blue ribbon award melons upwards of 30+ lbs and super delicious! :)
40+ years ago, the water melons all had seeds and had heavy rinds. Mom never complained, we ate the red as-is and pickled the white of the rind, and then ate the white as well minced as a relish on hot dogs.
Everyone here is some professional farmer and I'm just here wanting to grow a Mellon in my garden
What I find really enjoyable about this video is that you showed us through the entire journey and commented on the various things. Keep it up!!
I love watching this mans videos, it's so wholesome seeing him excited to check on the harvested fruit and veggies he grows. This makes me want to start growing something aswell 😄😄
Thanks for showing us the whole process
Amazing video! Felt like I was right there with you.
Woah that Moon and Stars melon is BEAUTIFUL :O
Great video! After seeing this I'm definitly going to try using old tires for my Charentais and Madhu Ras melons. Thanks again
Wow, admire the patience to make this video. Amazing
Awww Sky is so happy 🥰 You've just made my day!
Thank you! I am currently growing two different types of watermelon for my first time, California sunshine but I see I have to water more
“Golden midget melon”
Great vid. Subscribed. I had three watermelon plants in pots on the window sill that didn’t look like they would make it. So I took them outside and neglected them. My 11yr old being so excited to grow some said he’ll try and rescue them. So he put one in the ground just over a week ago and I thought nothing of it. To my surprise, I checked on it this morning and it was thriving with plenty of new growth. I have two tyres in my garden and you’ve given me an idea. I think I’ll go and plant the other two watermelons in the tyres tomorrow morning with him. That will put a huge smile on his face :-)
Wow! Well done !
nice video keep up the amazing content💚
Awesome video! I was searching for one that showed the entire process from seed to fruit! Thanks!! :) Now I know how to plant my watermelons.
i find it really cute that the Moon And Stars melon actually looks like a dark night with yellow stars
