I’m glad you posted this today. My watermelons are putting on fruit and this is just what I needed to learn. Man I’m hoping for a successful harvest, I’ve got one sugar baby coming in nice and a few black diamonds and royal goldens. Out of all the stuff I planted this year I feel like my watermelons get my constant attention 😂
@@block4565 pretty mixed bag. I had a real big black diamond coming in that I was excited for. I picked it probably a week too soon. I tried to do all the different ways to check for ripeness but I still fumbled the bag. My royal goldens produced a good bit of melons but none of them got very big. Think this year I’m going to up what I feed them and how often.
excellent video - I am growing 2 wm per plant and it's working great. Combined with the right soil and generous water I got great results. Keep it up my man - quality info and presentation!
HEY, John!!! I'm glad it's working great. I like to have 2 melons on a plant. Thanks, I'm going to do my best to keep it up. I'm glad you like the info.
Very excited to see this! Planted sugar babys myself this year and been pruning since I seen your previous pruning video from few years ago but the size of your sugar baby's in this video is mind blowing 🤯
HELLO, Themightymo, thanks for watching and commenting. Yes, the sugar babies are a really good size. I'm scream even more if I can't save them from the whole kingdom. Wait until I explain the next animal that's attacking. I'm ordering defense items. I hope they come soon before I lose these too.
You have helped me a lot this year. I've been trying to grow watermelons for years. I finally got 6 nice size Sugar Babies growing. Thank you for the video.
HELLO Ms. Understood garden, I'm so glad the videos helped. I am so excited to hear you have 6 nice size Sugar Babies growing. Let me know how it goes and how they taste. Thanks for watching and for leaving that wonderful news about your melons. I appreciate it.
I have some pumpkins growing in my garden this year and I’m going to apply your logic and CUT the vine and see if that improves the pumpkin’s growth and size. Thanks for the tip Bear.
Thank you for sharing your video. This will be the second year growing sugar baby melons, ive never pruned leaves. I learned something new today I'll be pruning my plants. 😊
HEY, Patricia!!! You are welcome. How did your melons do last year? Cool, I did not prune my leaves for years. It's something I added later. Let me know how it goes.
Growing SugarBaby in my garden this year. 10 melons spotted so far. One vine has two, but all the rest are the only one on that vine. Looking forward to watching your other watermelon focused videos to get even more tips!
HELLO, AdirondackRuby, that is awesome. You have spotted that many melons. It's great to hear that you want to see more of my videos. I hope it helps. Thanks for the support, I appreciate it.
HELLO Arefa Energy, I hope it turns out great for you. Let me know how it goes. Where are you from? We are in fall now heading into winter soon. Thanks for watching and responding. I really appreciate it.
Thank you for sharing this information!! I am finally growing watermelons so I am going to try this out. I need to watch your other videos to see what else you share. I cut my squash vines this year because they can get so out of control and they had so many female flowers. I have already noticed that the squash developing on the vines I trimmed back are growing really well. Plus, I don’t need that many squash. Gardening is always interesting😊 Thanks, again❣️
HELLO @BlackOnyxCat, you are welcome. Let me know how it goes for you. I don't know if you saw some of the comments. A few people tried it, and it worked for them. One guy said his melons double in size. I'm like, yeah, that's it. Thanks for watching and commenting.
HELLO Ceedee, ha ha! A lot of people said that about those juicy juicies. Let me know how it goes for you. A subscriber message me yesterday saying thanks because the tips I spoke about helped her grow a 39.6 pounder.
This is my first time growing sugar baby watermelon. I sowed 4 seeds in a 16 inch container just to make sure I get at least one and a back up. However, two plants are growing crazy now. I couldn't bring myself to cut a plant. One of the plants has a pea size watermelon growing. Since temps are in the 90s, a third seedling popped up😬.
Hey, are you going to pull the 3rd seedling? I been there before and did not pull the plant. It's hard to do, but if you have issues after the first time or next year. You will eventually start trying new things like pulling a plant.. Hey, and some people have made it work, so I wish you the best. It is so hard to pull plants once they come up
@@GrowSomethingTasty Thank you 🤗. Yes, I think I will pull the third one😢. The two plant vines are growing so fast in this hot weather. I'm trying my best to trellis them up a ladder. I have to be careful when I trellis because the vines snap easily.
@BlessWithTalent you could carefully pull it and try not to disturb the roots. I pulled and planted in a random spot now I have laundry basket and ground watermeloms to compare growth
HELLO @tallmanfreity, I'm glad the video was helpful. I try to keep it short as I can. Sometimes, I give a lot of detail. Thanks for watching and commenting.
i trim and cut the suckers off of water melons last year 2023, melons was littler smaller than footballs ,a guy told me to cleaned my cutting shears with alchol, well i did and all melons plants died hope you can tell what i did wrong, could it been the alchol [loved your viedo] thanks
HEY Lora!!! I'm so sorry to hear that. Did the plants get some type of disease? Did you notice any bug damage like squash bugs. The guy told you that so you don't transfer disease from plant to plant. I did not do that for my melons. I do take wipes to clean my shears for my tomato plants. I really don't know. I would try pruning a couple of plants this year and leave some melon plans alone to see what happens. If all of them die, then it's something else. Please let me know what happens. I received a lot of comments saying a lot of gardeners had their best melon season ever. I'm glad you love the videos!! That means a lot. I talk to you later, I'm going to be outside for 8 hours in a rain storm fishing a tournament.
I tried this from your prior video along with the compost tea and everything in my garden is growing great! My watermelons are doing so much better than last year! Thank you for the tips!
HEY, Izzy!!! I don't do it for my cantaloupes, but you can. I would just pull the small fruit off the plants if I was doing it. The vines don't get as long as the watermelon vines.
It depends on how long your season is. When I harvest melons, more are forming l. So if I have enough time, I can get another harvest. I have gotten 3 or 4 melons off a plant before. God bless you as well.
HEY, Jose!!! I prune to encourage the growth of the fruit. I still leave livestock on the plant. I don't know how long your plants are. I don't cut all my vines either.
HELLO Ebubeudenkwo, I grow one melon per vine. If you tube, how many watermelons to grow per plant and type my name. That video will come up, and I give a few other options. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Have you ever successfully propagated a vine with a melon that you accidentally cut or broke? I did this yesterday when I was cleaning up some vines, accidentally broke a vine off that had a mid developed melon on it. It was quite disappointing. Thank you for the videos! Just found them today.
HELLO Trilldan, I have not been successful at it, but I'm trying again today. I'm sorry to hear about your vine. Thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate it.
I prune my tomatoes. This is the first year I’ve tried planting watermelon and I was surprised Ives gotten some healthy fruit! So I’ll prune tomorrow thanks! Nice juicie jucies! 😂
So you just grow one watermelon per plant? or do you have 3-4 vines (main vine and suckers) growing and once you get one watermelon on each then you cut top of each of them?
HEY @hemalsgolwala!!! I have one watermelon per vine. I like to have 2 melons on a plant so I can get size to them. If you don't want large melons on the vine then you can grow more on the plant. I have a video called How Many Watermelons to Grow on a Plant.
Hello new to your channel. I have a question for you. I have what they call Sweet melons that don't grow like Vines they have like a rhubarb plant to them. And can I prune them the same way I would prune a Vine or say tomato plant? Thank you. We hit the like button and subscribed
HEY Timothy!!! I appreciate the support by hitting the like button and subscribing. Sweet melons, are you talking about cantaloupes? If so I don't cut the vines because I like having a lot of cantaloupes. It will work but I would just cut the fruit off instead of clipping the vines. The watermelons seem like they go for miles. I grew a 6-pound cantaloupe last year.
@@GrowSomethingTasty thank you for getting to me and taking the time. I do a lot of aquaponics but now we're starting to do like gardening to set up a permaculture garden
Hey Brian!!! No, I keep at least 2 but it depends. Sometimes I leave one melon per vine, so if a plant has 4 vines, I have 4 melons. I did a video called How many watermelons to grow per plant? I list a couple of options but it depends on the grower.
HEY Moochthrcat!!! I do have a fence. I found out where the rabbits were getting in. They can't get in now, but this time I got moles and voles. Wow, it's always something.
Thank you for the informative video! I have a question, can i cut the main stem of a watermelon plant if it has a melon forming on it? Or you can only prune all the other vines but the main one?
HEY @szimnettabukta!!! I'm glad you like the information. When you see the melon has formed you can cut the vine. I leave all the vines on the plant unless it is a sucker. You can have one melon per vine if you want.
Oh damn I hope you crush them bitches cause they hard to kill. When I tried to kill one before I had his tail trying to stab it and he detached his darn tail....lol smdh
HEY Kaylee I'm not. I have got around to selling things like that yet. I don't know if those will produce a melon like that again. If the seeds produce a melon like that again, then I will feel good about selling them.
HELLO @Gardening Today, you are welcome. Hopefully, I can protect those Juicey Juices. Is the trellis not strong enough? The wind got me last time I'm going to try again. Hopefully, next year. Thanks for watching.
@GrowSomethingTasty HI there, I think I used the wrong gage type of wire to trellis with. It's holding up, barely...😆 I think I should have used a cattle panel. The one thing I've learned is to learn, from what does work and what doesn't work for me. There's no one way to garden. Sometimes, my mistakes turn out to be a blessing. But we will see on these melons....😆 🤣 I share what it looks like in my last video.
HELLO envisionstar, I made an irrigation system this year for my melon patch. I did have other melons plants in my food forest. I wanted to feed them compost tea, so that's why I made the irrigation system. Having the woodchips down, I don't have to water much. Unless I don't get any rain. I'm doing a garden tour video tomorrow. If you watch it, most of the garden does not have irrigation, and I don't water like the peppers plants. I did not water them. I watered at planting. I use compost tea for fertilizer.
@@GrowSomethingTasty thank you for the response. Do you make your own compost tea or use a starter formula, or what exactly do you do? If you wanna save for a video thats cool too. Thank you!
Bonjour from France. Thanks for your great videos. You're 100% right. Watermelons have to be pruned, just as you say. One melon per vine produces big fruit.
HEY, it does work for cantaloupes but I like to prune the fruit if I do it with them. I say that because the watermelon vines are so long compared to cantaloupes. I just like to leave the vines and take off the fruit.
You can let the bees do it, that's what I do. I know some gardeners don't have a lot of bees and they use the male flower to pollinate the female flower.
HEY, ZKC2!!! It could happen or not!!! See, I cut the vines so no more melons grow passes that melon. Some flowers may come up before it melon. The plant is going to try to produce flowers as long as it's healthy. It's not done until your grow season is over.
HELLO Justin, it died. I was able to grow roots from the cutting, but it did not make it. Thanks for watching and for your question. I see another one I need to prune, so I'll try again.
Awe I love opossums 🥰😘 I had one as a pet once. Poor baby looks so scared. Please tell me you set it free in the wild. 🍉thanks for the great pruning tips. It’s my first time growing watermelon 🍉 I’m so excited. 🥰
I had to replant and lost all my Charleston Grey vines, now all I've got left are yellow meated melons, which people around here go crazy for, but it's so late in the year I'm looking for any way to get a harvest. My melons are only about golf ball size so I'm concerned.
The yellow meat melons are great. If you have a lot of melons on the vines that could be why they are small. If the plant is not getting fed enough that could be another reason they are small.
@@GrowSomethingTasty I think as much as anything I'm gonna take this year as a learning experience for watermelon vines, I do okay with my other plants, plenty of squash and cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, and okra like you wouldn't believe. I got my garden in late because of tiller issues, did most of it with a shovel, so my corn probably won't make, got baseball size watermelons and two to three hot months with plenty of sunshine so maybe I'll get lucky. Thanks for the feedback, man, I subscribed after the first melon video I saw about trimming vines. Good gardening.
HELLO Renee, I hope you have great success. I saw in the comments that some people said they had success with this. One person said hid melons double in size fast. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I made the mistake of mixing my moonbean and sugar babys. I have moonbean seeds but no more sugar baby ones. Im going to have to buy some because the seeds if i get any watermelon could be compromised. Couldnt tell them apart until they start to put watermelons
Yes, I do that too, especially with my tomato plants. I have to wait until they grow to tell what they are. I always I'm will do better but I don't. I did that with my peppers this year as well
Hey! I'm new to gardening. I have allowed my vines to grow too long. How do I prune when they are up to 3 or 4 feet long with one to 2 fruit on the plant? What do you do for natural weed control I'm garden as well? Thanks
HEY @ PeeblesSounds!!! I cut the vine right after the melon and that's about it. You can prune it down to the size of the vine you want. You can use mulch like woodchips to keep down the weeds but I still have weeds in my garden. I have to keep pulling them.
HELLO Goodvibesnewlevel, I'm sorry to hear your vines snapped, I can relate that the animals are snapping mine. It's a good chance a side shoot will grow, and melons can be on the side shoot.
Are the sweet crimson the same has sugar babies. I planted 2 sweet crimson and there vines are everywhere lol . I haven’t pruned yet. So this will be my first time. Got a few watermelons growing on them. So hopefully I get some big melons
HELLO TONYYAH, They are different melons. The Crimson Sweet ls can grow to a massive size, and sugar babies don't get that big. I hope your watermelons grow to be large.
Hello friend ! Probably I failed to understand or you did not mention, how many watermelons should keep in a plant. You told one melon in a vine, Am I right? Pls help me by answering my question.
HELLO Obaidur, I only leave one watermelon per vine. I like having bigger melons, so that's why I do it. Where are you from? I have a video called How many watermelons to grow on a plant. If you have any questions, just let me know
HELLO Stacky, the side shoot that comes from the main vine is what we call the sucker. If you can't see it in that video, in the video, How to Care for Watermelon Plant, has an example in it. That's the 30-pounder melon on the vine. Thanks for watching and commenting. I hope that helps.
HEY @sshumkaer!!! I cut the vines after the melon is pollinated. I stick to one melon per vine. There are a variety of ways to grow food. You can leave your vines it's up to the gardener. I don't like leaving all the melons because my melons normally get stunted growth.
@@GrowSomethingTasty I cut my vines Friday, because I live in North Dakota and didn't get my watermelon into the ground until July. Now we are past the half way and I was wondering if they will make it to maturity or not, so I cut them back to give my 10 a chance to grow faster. I left everything with flowers on just incase a last fruit ball grows. Bottom Line I live in a Brutal place called ND and weather will be changing soon.
I have a question.. I must've missed your follow-up video on trellising BIG watermelons. My space is small and need to somehow trellis on a smaller scale(#gatedcommunitygarden) How did yours turn out with supporting BIG melons?
HELLO Sasha, it was good until the bad wind storm knocked them off. I was able to get one. For that size melon, those bags were not good for that wind. I think my title was when things went wrong in the garden. I need to watch it because the animals are winning. How big are your melons. The bags work for honeydew size melons. I will definitely look for the material next year and try it again for sure.
This is my first time growing watermelons. I am only a second-year gardener. I am expecting the package says giant-sized watermelon. I was thinking that I might need to use pallet wood to try and make a trellis that with support heavy watermelons but I haven't figured out the rest yet. So far it's just a large and traveling vine, but I anticipate it trying to plow right through my greens if I don't get it under control and have a plan early on
HEY, Cdavis!!! First-time grower GREAT!!!! I prune after the small melon. Hey, I just released a flow up short from last week to show why I started pruning. The growth is insane. The short last week was Watermelon Pruning, and today's short is Watermelon Pruning Result Part 2. In 7 days, that melon more than tripled in size. That's only if you want to see real-time evidence. Thanks for watching.
Do you know the animal? I'm having trouble with voles eating the roots. You can put a metal basket over the melons to stop the animal from eating them.
HEY Victoria!!! Cool, let me know how it grows. When you see how big it gets in 7 days you are going to think it's magic. I did 2 shorts showing the growth of the melon 7 days apart. The titles are Watermelon Pruning and Watermelon Pruning Results Part 2. You can see how fast they grew.
HEY Lori!!! You can trellis them by buying a fruit hammock to hold it. One subscriber said they used pantyhose to keep them up. She said it held up a 40-pound melon. I said that's awesome I don't know how she did it. Can you undo the plant so that it's off the fence if you don't want to trellis it?
HELLO Christopher, that is great. Let me know what the end results are. I just got finished running these animals away today. I hope I get a melon. They are eating them and cutting the vines, I'm losing big melons. I glad yours are doing great.
This is my first year growing melons, didnt know i'm suposed to prune them but relieved to learn this bcz they've taken over! I cant even see where all the melons are it's so dense. I planted pumpkins among them as well! 🤦🏻♀️ maybe this is fixable now that I know its ok to cut vines. vines look healthy in spite of the competition for nutrients. Zone 9 (or 10 not sure)CA, long growing season so i hope theres time to still grow to full size.
HELLO BLUEBIRD, you don't have to prune them. I just do it to keep it cleaner, but the main reason is that the melons get larger when I do this. Big-time farmers don't do it because they have too many plants, and they fertilize heavily so they can get away with it. Thanks for watching and commenting.
It's so on! You got me all excited. I have 2 huge watermelon patches. One from sowing seed the other kids composed watermelom in my flower bed. I can barely see my flowers now.🤣 Happy blessed gardening!
HEY Sugarbearbear!!! That is so cool, you are going to have melons everywhere. Let me know how it goes so I can cheer along. It does not look good for me over here because of voles. I have never had them. Thank you.
HEY, gamerclown!!! I have never had that question before but I will leave it just in case another flower pops up. The remaining leaves will provide energy for the plant. That's just my opinion.
@@GrowSomethingTasty my luck I guess just watched ur video and went to prune my plant. Chopped off all the suckers and past the melon..... looked at the vine and it just popped off. I pollinated it like 3 days ago maybe too early to prune. Still have another one and one just appeared. Last year I was late and cut off the entire vine by accident where only melon was lol. I'm in NJ so not a lot of time to ripen these.
HELLO @Kirshang, I'm glad you are gardening and that the video was helpful. Thanks for watching and commenting. I really appreciate it. Let me know how your melons turn out.
Please help me , see my coment , show me thw way that can prun watetmelon to infuence latershoot for female flower?? And per week how many day water melon irrigated frequency in summee area.. am from Tanzania
HEY Violet!!! I prune to make my melons larger. I just wait for the female flowers to come. I started watering twice a week in the morning. It's hard to say how many times to water a week because the climates are different. I will tell you that mulching pla is will cut your water down drastically. This iss why I mulch with wood chips. Mulching is amazingly.
@@violethmyula7744 I'm from South Carolina in the United States. Let me know how your plants do. Try mulching one of your plants and see if there is a difference
Great video! I was just in my garden and have about 4 or 5 melons already growing and I remembered I need to prune them to make them huge, so this was just what I was looking for! Thanks, and good luck with yours!
HELLO JAY, that sounds great. I'm glad you like the information. Let me know how the melons turn out. I hope you get giants. Thanks, I'm getting close to cracking one open today. I had my first fruit from my fruit trees. Those Asian pears are the best. Thanks for watching and commenting.
First time growing melons. I have sugar babies & vines are taking over. Just now starting to flower. Do i wait to see meolns starting before i prune vines? Your videos are top notch!
HELLO Bibgrl, I'm glad you are growing melons. First-time melon grower good stuff. Yes, wait until you have a melon on it. I would make sure tur melon takes. When my melons are a little knob that's when I cut mine. Thanks for watching and commenting.
HELLO Rowanstec, I would just keep an eye on it, and if it looks like it's starting to rot, cut it off. If it looks a little funny, but it seems fine, keep letting it grow. I've had a fee to look like that, and they were good, but just remember it it starts to turn bad and cut it. I don't why that happens.
HELLO @Learuta, I don't know the chances. I think it's the same as pruning tomato plants or trees. I have not lost a plant from pruning yet. If there is a disease on your pruners, there could be a problem. If you are nervous and have more than one plant, just try pruning 1 vine on a plant and see if there is a difference. Thanks for watching and commenting.

HELLO @theshoemakimglady, I'm so glad to hear. I'm glad it worked out for you. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Great info ! Would pruning cantaloupes be the same ?
HEY, Izzy!!! I don't do it for my cantaloupes, but you can. I would just pull the small fruit off the plants if I was doing it. The vines don't get as long as the watermelon vines.
@@GrowSomethingTasty Thank you ! I subscribed .
I have another question sir, how many times can we harvest melons in its entire life? Thank you so much and God bless always.
It depends on how long your season is. When I harvest melons, more are forming l. So if I have enough time, I can get another harvest. I have gotten 3 or 4 melons off a plant before. God bless you as well.
@@GrowSomethingTasty ah ok sir, i will do an experiment for this so that i can have my melon garden. Thank you so much you gave me an inspiration sir.
Beautiful watermelons!
HELLO summerbreeze, I appreciate it. Hopefully, they taste good if animal kingdom don't get them. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I just pruned like 3 vines of my Watermelon plant yesterday & I'm wondering if I can prune some more of today, without hurting it?
HEY, Jose!!! I prune to encourage the growth of the fruit. I still leave livestock on the plant. I don't know how long your plants are. I don't cut all my vines either.
Do I have to wait to cut the flowers until I see the little watermelon forming ?
HEY @CrossCaptures!!! I would wait until I have a pollinated watermelon before I start cutting.
How many watermelon do u grow per plant
HELLO Ebubeudenkwo, I grow one melon per vine. If you tube, how many watermelons to grow per plant and type my name. That video will come up, and I give a few other options. Thanks for watching and commenting.
With your tips I'm going to grow something tasty, juicy juicy.
That's right!!! I believe you. Let me know how juicy juicies do.
Have you ever successfully propagated a vine with a melon that you accidentally cut or broke? I did this yesterday when I was cleaning up some vines, accidentally broke a vine off that had a mid developed melon on it. It was quite disappointing. Thank you for the videos! Just found them today.
HELLO Trilldan, I have not been successful at it, but I'm trying again today. I'm sorry to hear about your vine. Thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate it.
I'm about to go out and cur vines for the first time. .I'm scared. I have 6 growing on 2 plants, but in ND the season is getting late.
HELLO @sshumkaer, let me know how it goes. Are the melons small now?
I prune my tomatoes. This is the first year I’ve tried planting watermelon and I was surprised Ives gotten some healthy fruit! So I’ll prune tomorrow thanks! Nice juicie jucies! 😂
HEY @eonsdayz!!! That is awesome. I hope you get some nice juicie jucies
I always wait until they are SET more and a lil bigger to be sure it won't be any blossom end rot or anything. I get 40+ pounders too
HEY, @cheerjax26!!! Cool. That's a great idea and you are getting 40 pounders.
@@GrowSomethingTasty yes on the jubilees.. they are the only variety I grow that will get that big.
I wonder if this affects the sugar content of the melons?
HELLO John, my melons taste good and sweet. I always back off watering to increase the sweetness.
Thanks Bear
HELLO Chuck, you are welcome.
Which is the video about combating bigger critters?
HEY, jxg!!! RUclips How to stop Rabbits Bear Brown. In that video, a big critter got in the cage it was not a rabbit, so it works for them too.
Does this method also apply to cantaloupes?
HEY @windstorm!!! Yes, it's the same principle. I like to just take the melons off because the vines are not big like the watermelon plants.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
🫶🫶🫶
So you just grow one watermelon per plant? or do you have 3-4 vines (main vine and suckers) growing and once you get one watermelon on each then you cut top of each of them?
HEY @hemalsgolwala!!! I have one watermelon per vine. I like to have 2 melons on a plant so I can get size to them. If you don't want large melons on the vine then you can grow more on the plant. I have a video called How Many Watermelons to Grow on a Plant.
SO GLAD you posted this video! I’m going out 1st thing tomorrow to see what I need to prune!😊
Cool!!! I hope you get nice watermelons
Hello new to your channel. I have a question for you. I have what they call Sweet melons that don't grow like Vines they have like a rhubarb plant to them. And can I prune them the same way I would prune a Vine or say tomato plant? Thank you. We hit the like button and subscribed
HEY Timothy!!! I appreciate the support by hitting the like button and subscribing. Sweet melons, are you talking about cantaloupes? If so I don't cut the vines because I like having a lot of cantaloupes. It will work but I would just cut the fruit off instead of clipping the vines. The watermelons seem like they go for miles. I grew a 6-pound cantaloupe last year.
@@GrowSomethingTasty thank you for getting to me and taking the time. I do a lot of aquaponics but now we're starting to do like gardening to set up a permaculture garden
So you only keep one fruit per plant?
Hey Brian!!! No, I keep at least 2 but it depends. Sometimes I leave one melon per vine, so if a plant has 4 vines, I have 4 melons. I did a video called How many watermelons to grow per plant? I list a couple of options but it depends on the grower.
If animals are attacking your melons... BUILD A FENCE... the most evil animals on the planet are the two legged ones...
HEY Moochthrcat!!! I do have a fence. I found out where the rabbits were getting in. They can't get in now, but this time I got moles and voles. Wow, it's always something.
Thank you for the informative video! I have a question, can i cut the main stem of a watermelon plant if it has a melon forming on it? Or you can only prune all the other vines but the main one?
HEY @szimnettabukta!!! I'm glad you like the information. When you see the melon has formed you can cut the vine. I leave all the vines on the plant unless it is a sucker. You can have one melon per vine if you want.
Hey Teddy Ruskin have you ever grown the tiny sweet rich melons or Kajari melons. They only take about 60/65 before harvest. I got some seeds coming.
HELLO Angeline, I have never grown them. Let me know how it goes. I'm trying to stop field rats now. This has been crazy.
Oh damn I hope you crush them bitches cause they hard to kill. When I tried to kill one before I had his tail trying to stab it and he detached his darn tail....lol smdh
Sugar Babies?? Should be called Sugar Mama's!💦😋
You are right, sugar Mama's. I got to keep them safe. I'm ordering more devices to save them.
rule of thumb is 12 inches
Are you selling any of your juicy juice cross pollinated seeds? I’m interested
HEY Kaylee I'm not. I have got around to selling things like that yet. I don't know if those will produce a melon like that again. If the seeds produce a melon like that again, then I will feel good about selling them.
Juicey, juicey...lol Thanks for sharing...lol I think I made a mistake with trying to trellis mine.
HELLO @Gardening Today, you are welcome. Hopefully, I can protect those Juicey Juices. Is the trellis not strong enough? The wind got me last time I'm going to try again. Hopefully, next year. Thanks for watching.
@GrowSomethingTasty HI there, I think I used the wrong gage type of wire to trellis with. It's holding up, barely...😆 I think I should have used a cattle panel. The one thing I've learned is to learn, from what does work and what doesn't work for me. There's no one way to garden. Sometimes, my mistakes turn out to be a blessing. But we will see on these melons....😆 🤣 I share what it looks like in my last video.
How do you water and what about fertilization?
HELLO envisionstar, I made an irrigation system this year for my melon patch. I did have other melons plants in my food forest. I wanted to feed them compost tea, so that's why I made the irrigation system. Having the woodchips down, I don't have to water much. Unless I don't get any rain. I'm doing a garden tour video tomorrow. If you watch it, most of the garden does not have irrigation, and I don't water like the peppers plants. I did not water them. I watered at planting. I use compost tea for fertilizer.
@@GrowSomethingTasty thank you for the response. Do you make your own compost tea or use a starter formula, or what exactly do you do? If you wanna save for a video thats cool too. Thank you!
I did my pruning and in 2 days the my water Mellon doubled it size
HEY, Johnathan!!! That's great. It is so wild how this works, but I LOVE IT! Let me know how big it gets
Bonjour from France. Thanks for your great videos. You're 100% right. Watermelons have to be pruned, just as you say. One melon per vine produces big fruit.
HELLO from South Carolina, I appreciate the kind words. Yes, I love the results from pruning the melons. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Also.. does it work for cantaloupe as well? Thanks
HEY, it does work for cantaloupes but I like to prune the fruit if I do it with them. I say that because the watermelon vines are so long compared to cantaloupes. I just like to leave the vines and take off the fruit.
Question: do i have to pollinate the female plant with the male plant?
You can let the bees do it, that's what I do. I know some gardeners don't have a lot of bees and they use the male flower to pollinate the female flower.
@@GrowSomethingTasty we don't have any bees. How many times do I need to polinate the female plants?
After you pick the melon will you get another flower on that same vine or is it done for the season?
HEY, ZKC2!!! It could happen or not!!! See, I cut the vines so no more melons grow passes that melon. Some flowers may come up before it melon. The plant is going to try to produce flowers as long as it's healthy. It's not done until your grow season is over.
So what happened to the sucker u cut off did it grow in soil?
HELLO Justin, it died. I was able to grow roots from the cutting, but it did not make it. Thanks for watching and for your question. I see another one I need to prune, so I'll try again.
@@GrowSomethingTasty ok cool thanks for the reply
Awe I love opossums 🥰😘 I had one as a pet once. Poor baby looks so scared. Please tell me you set it free in the wild. 🍉thanks for the great pruning tips. It’s my first time growing watermelon 🍉 I’m so excited. 🥰
HEY Dolly!!! Yes, I released him in the wild but it took forever. He did not want to leave the cage. I hope you get some nice watermelons.
@@GrowSomethingTastyHe knows where the good food is.😊
I had to replant and lost all my Charleston Grey vines, now all I've got left are yellow meated melons, which people around here go crazy for, but it's so late in the year I'm looking for any way to get a harvest. My melons are only about golf ball size so I'm concerned.
The yellow meat melons are great. If you have a lot of melons on the vines that could be why they are small. If the plant is not getting fed enough that could be another reason they are small.
@@GrowSomethingTasty I think as much as anything I'm gonna take this year as a learning experience for watermelon vines, I do okay with my other plants, plenty of squash and cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, and okra like you wouldn't believe. I got my garden in late because of tiller issues, did most of it with a shovel, so my corn probably won't make, got baseball size watermelons and two to three hot months with plenty of sunshine so maybe I'll get lucky. Thanks for the feedback, man, I subscribed after the first melon video I saw about trimming vines. Good gardening.
Thanks for the information on watermelons. I just went out and pruned mine. Now I will wait and see.
HELLO Renee, I hope you have great success. I saw in the comments that some people said they had success with this. One person said hid melons double in size fast. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Thank you for the video! Keep up the good videos my friend! Keep going you’re almost there!
HELLO Mrgiantbomb, thanks for the support. I will try to keep good videos. I really appreciate your comment, my friend.
ooh WEE- that sugar baby!!! 🍉
HELLO CURLYKIKI, yes, those sugar babies are big. Thanks for watching.
Thank You For The Information😊 Ima Try This Method!!
HEY @DoloWrldMotivation!!! You are welcome. Let me know how it works for you.
I made the mistake of mixing my moonbean and sugar babys. I have moonbean seeds but no more sugar baby ones. Im going to have to buy some because the seeds if i get any watermelon could be compromised. Couldnt tell them apart until they start to put watermelons
Yes, I do that too, especially with my tomato plants. I have to wait until they grow to tell what they are. I always I'm will do better but I don't. I did that with my peppers this year as well
Hey! I'm new to gardening. I have allowed my vines to grow too long. How do I prune when they are up to 3 or 4 feet long with one to 2 fruit on the plant? What do you do for natural weed control I'm garden as well? Thanks
HEY @ PeeblesSounds!!! I cut the vine right after the melon and that's about it. You can prune it down to the size of the vine you want. You can use mulch like woodchips to keep down the weeds but I still have weeds in my garden. I have to keep pulling them.
@GrowSomethingTasty Thank you! I wanted to make sure if I cut it down to smaller size that it wouldn't affect the growth and fruit.
I lost 2 little melons. I just have 2 remaining. The vine snapped. Do you think the plant will produce more?
HELLO Goodvibesnewlevel, I'm sorry to hear your vines snapped, I can relate that the animals are snapping mine. It's a good chance a side shoot will grow, and melons can be on the side shoot.
Thank you for your reply. This is my first time growing watermelons in zone 5. I am hoping for success. Thank you for your recommendations. God bless.
😂boom 💥
HEY, MissPeachCobbler!!! That's right!!! Thanks for watching!!!
good tips, Thanks!.. got ya subbed!.... Gonna share this video on my garden group on Gab!...
HELLO @kansascityonline, I really appreciate it. Thanks for watching, subbing, sharing, and commenting. Awesome!!!
@@GrowSomethingTasty glad to find your channel..!
Are the sweet crimson the same has sugar babies. I planted 2 sweet crimson and there vines are everywhere lol . I haven’t pruned yet. So this will be my first time. Got a few watermelons growing on them. So hopefully I get some big melons
HELLO TONYYAH, They are different melons. The Crimson Sweet ls can grow to a massive size, and sugar babies don't get that big. I hope your watermelons grow to be large.
@@GrowSomethingTasty thank you brother appreciate the feedback and keep making awesome content. 💪🏾
Hello friend ! Probably I failed to understand or you did not mention, how many watermelons should keep in a plant. You told one melon in a vine, Am I right? Pls help me by answering my question.
HELLO Obaidur, I only leave one watermelon per vine. I like having bigger melons, so that's why I do it. Where are you from? I have a video called How many watermelons to grow on a plant. If you have any questions, just let me know
@@GrowSomethingTasty I am from Bangladesh. I got my answer. Thanks
Hellow please help mw how to prun for influencing female flower in watermelon
What do you mean by the ‘suckers’?
HELLO Stacky, the side shoot that comes from the main vine is what we call the sucker. If you can't see it in that video, in the video, How to Care for Watermelon Plant, has an example in it. That's the 30-pounder melon on the vine. Thanks for watching and commenting. I hope that helps.
I've always read you should get 5 per plant, cutting all thes3 vines means you're not going to achieve that
HEY @sshumkaer!!! I cut the vines after the melon is pollinated. I stick to one melon per vine. There are a variety of ways to grow food. You can leave your vines it's up to the gardener. I don't like leaving all the melons because my melons normally get stunted growth.
@@GrowSomethingTasty I cut my vines Friday, because I live in North Dakota and didn't get my watermelon into the ground until July. Now we are past the half way and I was wondering if they will make it to maturity or not, so I cut them back to give my 10 a chance to grow faster. I left everything with flowers on just incase a last fruit ball grows. Bottom Line I live in a Brutal place called ND and weather will be changing soon.
I have a question.. I must've missed your follow-up video on trellising BIG watermelons. My space is small and need to somehow trellis on a smaller scale(#gatedcommunitygarden) How did yours turn out with supporting BIG melons?
HELLO Sasha, it was good until the bad wind storm knocked them off. I was able to get one. For that size melon, those bags were not good for that wind. I think my title was when things went wrong in the garden. I need to watch it because the animals are winning. How big are your melons. The bags work for honeydew size melons. I will definitely look for the material next year and try it again for sure.
This is my first time growing watermelons. I am only a second-year gardener. I am expecting the package says giant-sized watermelon. I was thinking that I might need to use pallet wood to try and make a trellis that with support heavy watermelons but I haven't figured out the rest yet. So far it's just a large and traveling vine, but I anticipate it trying to plow right through my greens if I don't get it under control and have a plan early on
No flowers yet
Thanks for the knowledge!
HEY @antavina1!!!! Anytime! You are welcome.
First time watermelon gardener here. Do I prune before or after a watermelon is on the vine? Thanks for video!!
HEY, Cdavis!!! First-time grower GREAT!!!! I prune after the small melon. Hey, I just released a flow up short from last week to show why I started pruning. The growth is insane. The short last week was Watermelon Pruning, and today's short is Watermelon Pruning Result Part 2. In 7 days, that melon more than tripled in size. That's only if you want to see real-time evidence. Thanks for watching.
Hi, my sugar baby watermelon vines are growing and blooming since April, but no signs of watermelons. Do I need to fertilizer again?
Thank you for the info I appreciate it
HEY Steve!!! You are welcome.
There’s a theory of copper grounding to keep bugs and other critters away if you ever wanna look into it
HEY I tried it before, it's called electroculture.
@@GrowSomethingTasty wow man now I see why your a master at this lol you really know your stuff man !
I just started growing 2 and they are really small and getting eatin by animals. What to do?
Do you know the animal? I'm having trouble with voles eating the roots. You can put a metal basket over the melons to stop the animal from eating them.
@@GrowSomethingTasty thanks I’m really not sure. I think it’s the groundhog
I just went and pruned my melons it hurt but I'm trusting this
HEY Victoria!!! Cool, let me know how it grows. When you see how big it gets in 7 days you are going to think it's magic. I did 2 shorts showing the growth of the melon 7 days apart. The titles are Watermelon Pruning and Watermelon Pruning Results Part 2. You can see how fast they grew.
They have gotten a little bigger but they are taking so slow for me idk why
My watermelon grew up my fence and has two watermelon what should I do
HEY Lori!!! You can trellis them by buying a fruit hammock to hold it. One subscriber said they used pantyhose to keep them up. She said it held up a 40-pound melon. I said that's awesome I don't know how she did it. Can you undo the plant so that it's off the fence if you don't want to trellis it?
Ty
Your tip definitely helped..all of my mellons have doubled in size...thanks bruh
HELLO Christopher, that is great. Let me know what the end results are. I just got finished running these animals away today. I hope I get a melon. They are eating them and cutting the vines, I'm losing big melons. I glad yours are doing great.
This is my first year growing melons, didnt know i'm suposed to prune them but relieved to learn this bcz they've taken over! I cant even see where all the melons are it's so dense. I planted pumpkins among them as well! 🤦🏻♀️ maybe this is fixable now that I know its ok to cut vines. vines look healthy in spite of the competition for nutrients. Zone 9 (or 10 not sure)CA, long growing season so i hope theres time to still grow to full size.
HELLO BLUEBIRD, you don't have to prune them. I just do it to keep it cleaner, but the main reason is that the melons get larger when I do this. Big-time farmers don't do it because they have too many plants, and they fertilize heavily so they can get away with it. Thanks for watching and commenting.
It's so on! You got me all excited. I have 2 huge watermelon patches. One from sowing seed the other kids composed watermelom in my flower bed. I can barely see my flowers now.🤣 Happy blessed gardening!
HEY Sugarbearbear!!! That is so cool, you are going to have melons everywhere. Let me know how it goes so I can cheer along. It does not look good for me over here because of voles. I have never had them. Thank you.
THANKS Bbro i wont be affraid to cut the melon vine now.
God Bless you from North Wales,UK
HEY Justin!!! You are welcome, bro! I am glad to hear. North Wales, UK, COOL, and good bless you.
@@GrowSomethingTasty thank u mate. i also started woodchip gardens
If a watermelon falls off already pruned vine, would you cut off the entire vine off at that point?
HEY, gamerclown!!! I have never had that question before but I will leave it just in case another flower pops up. The remaining leaves will provide energy for the plant. That's just my opinion.
@@GrowSomethingTasty my luck I guess just watched ur video and went to prune my plant. Chopped off all the suckers and past the melon..... looked at the vine and it just popped off. I pollinated it like 3 days ago maybe too early to prune. Still have another one and one just appeared. Last year I was late and cut off the entire vine by accident where only melon was lol. I'm in NJ so not a lot of time to ripen these.
@gamerclownz2783 Sorry to hear that. This time, wait until you know for sure it's been pollinated. Since you have a shorter time frame than me.
I’m a fairly new gardener and was wondering how to trim my melons. Thanks so much for this informative video! HAPPY GARDENING❤

HEY Violet!!! I prune to make my melons larger. I just wait for the female flowers to come. I started watering twice a week in the morning. It's hard to say how many times to water a week because the climates are different. I will tell you that mulching pla is will cut your water down drastically. This iss why I mulch with wood chips. Mulching is amazingly.
@@GrowSomethingTasty thns were are from ,am from Tanzania

HELLO JAY, that sounds great. I'm glad you like the information. Let me know how the melons turn out. I hope you get giants. Thanks, I'm getting close to cracking one open today. I had my first fruit from my fruit trees. Those Asian pears are the best. Thanks for watching and commenting.

First time growing melons. I have sugar babies & vines are taking over. Just now starting to flower. Do i wait to see meolns starting before i prune vines? Your videos are top notch!
HELLO Bibgrl, I'm glad you are growing melons. First-time melon grower good stuff. Yes, wait until you have a melon on it. I would make sure tur melon takes. When my melons are a little knob that's when I cut mine. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Awesome definitely will share yr videos
HELLO Sierra, thanks. I appreciate it. Thanks for watching and commenting.
My sugar baby has a watermelon but it growing weird and looks lopsided but seems fine otherwise any suggestions?
HELLO Rowanstec, I would just keep an eye on it, and if it looks like it's starting to rot, cut it off. If it looks a little funny, but it seems fine, keep letting it grow. I've had a fee to look like that, and they were good, but just remember it it starts to turn bad and cut it. I don't why that happens.
Nice ! Tell us how to identify a male or female flower. My melon plants are crawling around all over with just yellow flowers and no melons.
HELLO Skyking, thanks. The female flowers have little fruit under the flower. If it doesn't have the tiny melon, then it's a male.
I looked at your other video and did my painful pruning a few days ago ...I'll let you know how it goes😑
HELLO Veronica, yes, please let me know how it goes. You are going to walk by that plant and say, "Wow". I hope you tell me that.
I'm the 1000th like!
(thank you for the informative video)
HEY Craig!!! Wow, the 1000th like! That is awesome. I did not know it had that many. You are welcome! I'm trying to get better with the videos.
I prune mine but not as aggressively. I’ve never seen a Sugar Baby that big.
HELLO @anabolicamaranth, yes, it's a big sugar baby. It's almost ready for me to harvest.
What are chances that the cut vine may rot leading to losses?
HELLO @Learuta, I don't know the chances. I think it's the same as pruning tomato plants or trees. I have not lost a plant from pruning yet. If there is a disease on your pruners, there could be a problem. If you are nervous and have more than one plant, just try pruning 1 vine on a plant and see if there is a difference. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Good 👍 ❤
Thanks ✌
I'm gonna have to try this out for sure!! I'm excited.
HEY Tanya!!! I'm glad you are excited about it and that you are going to try it. You got me excited. Let me know how it goes.
