CaliKim29 Garden & Home DIY I want to help you garden your gorgeous
@@rubenbenitez8225 Yeah, I'm from South Texas too and I wanted to know does she mean 1 gallon divided out OVER the week or just LITERALLY once a week because I don't think we could get away with the 'latter' here in Houston, lol! Did you ever get an answer to your question?
Tx
4 years on and this video is still bearing fruit, thanks CaliKim.
I'm planting up a champagne watermelon in London, England.
My first ever watermelon. Wish me luck!!!
How did you make out with your watermelon?
Your instructions are clear and easy to understand. I love your video. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us
Thank you for all your helpful videos. I love how you keep it real. We are growing a family garden this year, and two of my four children chose watermelon as one of their choices. We are growing Crimson Sweet and Orange Tendersweet. Because of your videos, we have decided next year we want to try new varieties! So excited to feed my family from our own yard! Thank you!
First time gardner with 5 different strains of watermelon 5+ plants of each and all doing very well!
sprawling like crazy! 😊
Thank you for the tips! This will be my first year growing watermelon!
Last year, I grew Crimson Sweet watermelon. It was incredible! Great video. Thanks for sharing.
I'm going to attempt to grow my first watermelon next year learning everything I can before I attempt to! I can't wait! I've always wanted a garden♡
Thank you for this amazing video!
This is awesome and practical. You just made me love growing water melon.
I love the instructions, so clear and helpful.
Moon and stars watermelon, beautiful to look at, delicious to eat!
Hi Kim,
I came to you tube today to find a great video to get me through a watermelon season. I am pleased it was yours! Thank you Kim! I've learned so many GREAT tips from you! I appreciate you ❤
Kaji would be proud
That's so funny. I JUST planted watermelon yesterday. Perfect timing for this video. :)
I Love watermelon and plan to grow some this year. I have to grow them in pots. I love all the information. Thank you!
Those gorgeous watermelons
Thank you ms Calikim! Great video! Im a rookie but now i feel like a pro!!
I grew "sun and moon" watermelon last year, with a square shape (inspired by the ridiculous $$ in Japan market). This year I plan on growing a heart shape watermelon. Can't wait. Again, I love your instructions very much
I wished I saw your video BEFORE I planted my sugar babies this year! They are consuming my tiny little garden bed (but growing well). LOL. Thanks.
Wow! They're gorgeous! Thank you for your awesome demonstration Madam Kim!
Your watermelon tutoring videos is what got me hooked to your channel and now I can see that you ha e grown so much as a RUclipsr .I'm very happy for you
Thanks for your videos I'm inspired to plant my own watermelons from seeds and they are growing really good
Thank you! My 1st time planting watermelon!!
Planting watermelon this year thank you for the growing tips.
I’m planting sugar baby watermelon this spring/summer and I’m definitely going to try it vertically thank you for this I would’ve never thought of doing that
Greetings! Thank you so much for your help! I didn't know watermelon was so easy to plant and grow!
This is a good video. Thank you! You look & sound like your really enjoying your garden. When you love what you do it is never work. Hope those melons turned out nice!
Thanks for the video. I grow watermelon every year. I've got seed starts going in the house right now. Our last frost date is April 29 so my starts should be a good size. I like the idea of black plastic around the plants for ground warmth. I've never done that before but it's a good idea as mine are always a little stunted in the beginning of the season. I'm in Illinois.
Here's a little friendly tip for all of you. Add some bone meal also and the secret for transplant shock is Vitamin B1. It will help it from being stunted for about 2 weeks to only a couple of days. And I usually add a thin layer of non fertilized soil between the roots and the fertilizer I add to the hole, just in case its a little strong and wont burn a young tender transplant. Later on it will not have to go far to find dinner. Thanks Cali Kim..I grew up in Ventura county . I miss the weather now that its finally raining again down there. QUADS....
You know, question. So this is my first year with a watermelon garden in Minnesota and we’ve had excellent success. My question (also something I’ve been doing) is, do you sip your watermelons? I’ve been turning mine so the white side is up and as it turns green, I turn them again, throughout the year! Our watermelons have been pretty consistent green on all sides. Btw, had a 14 1/2lb melon a couple weeks ago! Good luck over there! ✌️
*flip*
Kim, you always got the best info!
That was such a great video Kim. I've never tried growing watermelon but now I feel I know enough to try it next year. I'll even start my own from seed! Thanks so much for all your tips!

Hi! I absolutely love your watermelons videos and thanks for sharing! I am also growing sugar baby watermelon!
We love watermelon on the homestead! Great video!
Thanks for the tips. First time for me. I'm going to grow 4 sugar baby plants out front. Facing South they should get plenty of sun. I'm about 25 miles South of Lake Erie between Toledo & Cleveland. Lots of vineyards North of here. Wish me luck !
Awesome video !
Great video Kim, here on my homestead we have sandy loam soil and watermelon grows very well, but I really appreciate the info on how to make sure the soil is rich in nutrients in order for them to grow 👍
We have sand and don't fertilize. Best watermelon I've ever had this year. I've very picky on the ones I eat. If not super sweet my husband eats them and not me.
I have my watermelons growing up a cattle panel this year. I just did a short show video showing my babies!
Awesome video,gona be my second attempt at watermelon and the first was a fail but I have high hopes this time after watching your video,I'm from Saskatchewan and the season is short but I will try these key tips for sure,thanks for the video!
Awesome update thank you for sharing have a blessed day Clikim
Hi Linda - will do! How's the garden coming along? Thanks for watching!
Thank you alot for the information on growing watermelon i really appreciate it
I started growing watermelon...I have fencing around my garden, but not strong enough to hold a watermelon..Snap peas sure. I think I will add a stronger trellis like the one you have so this doesn't take up my entire garden. Love the new video, especially the down below the surface shots....Not sure if others noticed, but I did! Great job Camera Guy! Thanks again you two for your very informative tips...Gary
I planted Yellow Crimson and Black Diamond watermelon.
Thank you so very much for the great info on growing watermelons. I can't wait to eat my Yellow meat watermelon.
I planted sunflowers a while ago, and some are already a few feet tall. Some didn't make it. So i planted some more seeds and then a slug came along! and it just ate away at the stem of my sunflower seedling. I thought that i was just gonna have to plant another seed but i put the fallen over seedling in water. and wow! just like the basil and mint it grew new roots! I replanted it in the garden today and got rid of all those nasty baby slugs! Thanks kim and camera guy love your videos!!! super inspirational :-)
Hi Mauk - wow, I've never tried this with sunflowers - way to be persistent! Always fun to experiment in the garden, always learning! Glad you love the videos - thanks for watching!
I THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!
I am planting 2 Crimson Sweet - I am in zone 5 in Canada -- lost the 1 I planted last year to some bug in the soil -- planted my seed in a peat pot and I will put it in the ground once the plant is strong enuff . Planted it on april 26-- it needs round 80 days to mature to a 25 - 35 pound beast -- will be looking forward to munching on it !!

Can't wait to see your watermelons grow! Ours are growing fast week after week here in SoCal, starting Summer.
It's crazy how quickly they grow, isn't it? You can almost watch them get bigger by the moment! Thanks for watching!
Just awesome,thanks
Even though old vid I just planted some watermelons. I'm doing more than last year.And wanted to see your vids since I Am also a cali person. grandfather taught me that you should always take the plant out of the container it is in and loosen the root before planting in the ground. I usally loosen the plant before i plant it where I am going to plant it. Will my watermelon be ok?
Thanks I'm growing my first garden 😊
I'm growing 2 sugarbaby watermelons from transplant. This is my first time growing them, I live in zone 5, New Hampshire.
