    Too much nitrogen causes too much green leaves you want potassium to get the blooms I also add epsom salt when they are growing. Calcium keeps the watermelon from getting black spot and rotting. Also slow down on the watering a few weeks before you harvest it helps with sugar build up instead of getting a bland melon full of water. This also goes for strawberries let the dirt dry a week or two before picking.

    I’m growing two small varieties for my first year growing watermelon. 1 sugar baby and 1 petite yellow. I got a early start on the season…started indoors 3 weeks early..transplanted in May. They picked up pretty good in June and I actually ended up getting two flowers pollinated, they grew for a bit…rat ate one…the other ended up splitting at about baseball size. I didn’t give up though…fertilized the plants and in July they grew like crazy, more then they ever have and now I have 4 that successfully pollinated and are getting closer to full size. I’ve been watering basically everyday a little and it seems like they aren’t splitting which is something I am worried about. Here in the PNW we don’t have the longest season but I’m think these 4 will be able to finish by October hopefully.

    • @Greentgarden
      @Greentgarden  Рік тому +2

      What to do is add straw mulch on the bottom that would observe some of the moisture, sometimes in watermelon there is too much water and it's so hot. This could cause the splitting person in the watermelon.. Try the water a tad less and pruning will help alot🙏🏾🌱

      @@aliceboyblue I was incorrect potassium is for root growth. Phosphorus is for root and bloom. Urea and or nitrogen ( blood meal) is for green leaves. I add phosphorus when I start seeing vines on my melons. But be carful not too add to much. I use phosphorus about every Six weeks too keep it blooming and for health. Calcium helps with bottom end rot so I add that a few times a summer while they are growing. Then stop watering a week or so before harvest. Watering too much at the end of the cycle makes the sugars sweeter in the melon. Only water if the plant is wilting. I also prune the shoots when I see one or two on the plant. Tip and cut off shoots . Baby watermelon can have a few more watermelons on the vine . You want the energy too go into one or two bigger varieties instead of growing a lot on one vine .

    Great video! This will be my second year to grow watermelon and I'd really like to get more this time. How many melons do you usually try to keep on each plant/vine? I've seen other sources suggest just (1) or (2) max per vine.

    • @Greentgarden
      @Greentgarden  5 місяців тому

      So one watermelon plant will give you about 3-4 Mellons .. the key to get the max is to keep the plant healthy, once you see a sign of a watermelon , add fertilizer and keep adding fertilizer every 1-2 weeks .. also water is very important , stick to a water and schedule , water enough... Do a light prune at the beginning of the plant , keep the root area clean , get good air flow ..

    What's the best organic method to supply calcium to the plant and how often should it be added? Great video, btw. 👏🏽

    • @Greentgarden
      @Greentgarden  11 місяців тому +1

      The most natural calcium would be eggshells, but it takes too long to decompose ..( You have to blend it and then add it but it still take to break down)
      I use the organic garden lime works well ..
      I use this once a month.. or if I have any blossom end rot problem.. It's good to add fertilizer every 2 weeks to most plants like pumpkin, squash, zucchini, tomatoes peppers

    • @jeffmeyers3837
      @jeffmeyers3837 2 місяці тому +1

      Turn eggshells into liquid calcium by drying them in oven, the putting into jar of vinegar. The acid in the vinegar reacts with the eggs, pulling out the calcium into the solution until all the vinegar acid is consumed, leaving just calcium rich solution which you can dilute and apply to plants. Many vids on YT about how to do this, works great.

      So if you add used coffee grounds to compost it could take I believe 2-3 months ..
      But if you add to your soil and you keep watering your plants every 2-3 days it breaks down much faster..

      So sorry to hear , once your watermelons are rotten it's two things. The number one is lack of calcium ,( If you already add for the fertilizer ) add some calcium ... And give it a couple days , number two watering.. make sure to stick to a water schedule , I normally water every 2 to 3 days but if it's close to 90° or above 90° high water 1 to 2 days..

      It depends on the variety of the watermelon you're growing.. sugar baby watermelon takes about 75 to 85 days.. Jubilee watermelons take about 90 days .. Crimson Sweet watermelons take about 80 days..when it's ripe it will feel sturdy and have a resonant, hollow sound if you knock on it.. also if the green colors getting lighter too ..thats another sing for ripe

    'Leaf burning' with watering during middle of hot, sunny day is a myth (the fact is, the burning is so miniscule that it's truly not worth mentioning) - Furthermore, what you said about water evaporation is the true reason to NOT water in daytime. You are correct, however, with watering in morning or evening. Only problem with 'evening watering' is that it promotes mold growth. Morning is best time for watering. The rising sun/temps will burn off sitting water, thus thwarting mold growth and promoting better, healthier growth.
