    How regularly do you have water the roots or the soil where you are growing it , during seed stage and after leaves start coming up?
    Also as you indicated, would it be advisable to start it during spring or summer rather than in Oct in southern California when it has started becoming lil cold, though there is decent sun too.
    thank you.

    This video was well made as you had examples ready to go at each stage of the process from seed to harvesting of the melon. Nicely done. Thank you.

On the whole the sapling looks healthy. Is this normal? It’s been a month since sowing from seed. Does it thrive in full sun?
