Winter Sowing Melons Tutorial - Grow Cantaloupes, Watermelons - How Many Seeds in Mini Greenhouses?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- Watch over my shoulder and learn how to grow organic, heirloom cantaloupes and watermelons in free, recycled mini-greenhouses like milk and juice jugs, also called the Winter Sowing method. These containers are put out in the snow or cold weather to grow super strong, hardened seedlings outdoors! I answer the question 'how many seeds do I put in a container?' and much more. Once the watermelon and cantaloupe seedlings are grown, then are then transplanted into your final home for them, either a container, pot, bucket or in ground or raised bed... etc.

I stumbled upon your winter sowing videos last spring and decided to try it this year. I got really excited to try it and I may have jumped the gun a bit, I had every single container out on feb 1st! All 58 of them. Herbs, lettuces, carrots, melons, squash, tomatoes.. And more! But I think it's going to be ok. I peeked in the tops today and I have bunches of Bibb lettuce, spinach, broccoli and sunflowers all poking up! This is so much fun! I'm a 22 year old guy and I turned into a small child full of Christmas Eve style excitement when I saw the green bits coming up! I just wanted to say thank you for sharing this method and you've made a new winter sower up in central NY :)
+GardenDragon wonderful to hear!Thanks so much for sharing your story with me. Made my day. It's ok that you put them in on Feb 1. The only thing you might have to do is cover the ones that have already sprouted IF you get another freeze or snow. you can throw a blanket over them for a day or so til it warms up again. hey are you in my Veggie Winter Sowing group yet?If not go join! you'll love it. facebook.com/groups/WinterSowing.VegGardeningWithSheryl See ya there! ~Sheryl :)
This is so exciting to see! This is my first year and I can’t wait!
Love it.
How did it go?!?
Trying my melon seed tomorrow !!! Sheryl when the winter sowing is over for the year you should do some seed saving videos. They would be fun.
That's great! You know, I do have several seed saving videos already but will be doing a lot more!
Hi Sheryl, I came over from your comment on my video. I'm so glad to find you. I am wondering what zone and state your in. Thanks again for making a connection with me I hope to learn a lot.
When your dogs barked in the video, my dogs went nuts! I tried to tell them that those dogs barked 8 years ago. They didn't listen.
Too funny, LOL. ;)
😂
I'm so happy watching this. Now I can winter sow my fruit! Thanks!
My WS cantaloupe tasted so divine! Enjoy!
@@JuicingGardener that is great news! I want to winter sow strawberries and kajari melons. I also want to grow another small melon and I ordered a blueberry plant. I'm so excited for this years garden. I'm having foot surgery in April so everything that I can winter sow I'm going to try and do at least 10 milk jugs per day next week. I'm loving the winter sowing process! Virginia zone 7a.
great reminder to get growing my gourds thx
I just ordered this exact seeds! So excited because you said that they taste delicious. I really want that old time watermelon flavor, they all taste watered down.
I read somewhere you have to withhold water ,in their later stage before fully ripened
5 gallon bucket for melons? Yay! Thank you for mentioning this.
you bet! your melons will not be as big as those grown in ground, but they are JUST as tasty!
Anything Not grown in my muddy ground will be Wonderful! Lol
Thank you for being so specific on your favorite heirloom varieties to winter sow. It is very helpful during seed ordering time. Love all of your detailed videos. For those of us newbies, it is also very helpful when you repeat the important points like moist soil, etc... Many thanks on helping us grow seedlings for practically FREE if we save our seeds from year to year. Love this group. Thank you!
Hi Jennifer, thanks much for your kind comments. Glad you like the videos. After 5 years of gardening, i've found that the magic is in the details, to give you that extra boost to get the most out of your time, money and efforts in the garden. Seed saving is one of my fav parts of the process. So empowering to have a box full of organic, heirloom seeds that you collected yourself.
See you in the group!
Sheryl
:)
What month did you start these?
hey my favorite melon is eel river melon.I find it from bountiful gardens seeds.it's amazing and soo sweet.you should give it a try.
+mark jimenez thanks much for the melon recommendation. I"ll give it a try!
Sheryl
:)
WSing for the first time this year. Was not sure if i could do melons or not! Well, based on your video, I guess I will go for it! Thanks!
They were literally divine tasting. Vertically grown. Maybe the size of large grapefruits. Juicy. Heirloom tasting. Get good heirloom seeds and use the best premium potting mix you can, get organic if possible. :)
love the organically grown food peace be with you!!!!!
thanks so much for you note! Glad to have you watching my videos.
Peace to you too. :)
Sheryl
So love hanging out with you, it's funny how our dog's have us trained with the sound of their bark🐶
New subscriber, I really struggled with the garden last year so this is a true blessing 🥰🌱🇨🇦
Hi and greetings from Canada!
this was my first year at winter gardening and i was very successful.
Thank you for the nice video and next year i will try some melons and some squash in winter gardening.
If someone is looking a great source for great containers they could visit a construction site and obtain some easily cleaned containers(easily cleaned jugs with simple rinsing with water. Apparently they originally contained an additive to reduce the the toxic exhaust from deisell engines and they are disposed of in the landfill site.. /
Exciting!
Dum question how important is the perlite, second how much in ratio mix for perlite. Newbie gardener , Cool video, learning as I go, Thanks!Keep up the good work!
+Sal Salazar there are no dumb questions!! There are two things that can help with drainage perlite and vermiculite. I prefer vermiculite because perlite always floats to the top! Either will work. If you use perlite just mix well so it goes down deep too. I would say I add about 1/5 to 1/4 vermic or perlite. the rest is top soil and compost. Keep on going and you'll fall in love iwth gardening! Are you in my veggie Winter sowing group yet? if not, come join there - cool group of people all Winter Sowing. facebook.com/groups/WinterSowing.VegGardeningWithSheryl see ya there! Sheryl :)
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge
I’m going to try this this year .
Be safe stay well and God bless
Purple watermelon. Cool
I heard that you use a name of soil, Happy frog, when do you use your soil recipe mix compared to purchased bag soil?
Good job! Good luck for this project!
+Catalin Oancea thank you! :)
Great teacher
