Thank you for letting us know about the watering the watermelon plants that must be why mine are growing so slowly....

[@WordzandRhythmz]

Wow you dropped some major nuggets I was unaware of! Thanks so much!! ❤

Nice video. Learn something every day. I planted a bunch of seed across several acres at the beginning of winter, but, they didn't make it, so I needed some help. Subbed, liked, black belled. Us little channels have to stick together, lol.

[@johndeases]

Good work. You are a natural when it comes to these videos.

Best video on watermelons I've seen. Thanks for the insight. Direct sowing into my pasture this week, fingers crossed. 🤞

[@branchesinthyme9070]

Something I didn't mention...Don't let the grass grow up through them. Put some cardboard or something down around them to suppress grass and weeds.

[@ericb9931]

Thank you, this if my first year trying them.

[@branchesinthyme9070]

Be sure to prevent grass from growing up through the vines, or they will die from disease.

[@ericb9931]

@@branchesinthyme9070 Thank you for the advice! The vines are big, do need some weeding, but I'm wondering if I planted them too late for Massachusetts and missed some sort of pollination window? There's no evidence of fruit coming any time soon and it's mid August.

[@ericb9931]

I have a bad habit of both starting seeds late as well as pushing things outside too early 😅

[@CLS91009]

Thanks for the video. I’m planting my watermelons this week, hoping for success! Please post a progress video soon

[@branchesinthyme9070]

Thanks for watching. There is already one progress video up. I shared new info in it about fertilizing and watering. It is titled - Watermelons - How to Grow, Water, and Fertilize - Organic Gardening Tips. I will definitely look in to making another progress video within the next few weeks. Thank you for your comment!

Keep the root zone cool but the leaves need a lot of sun to grow good size fruit.

[@newlifepodcast581]

I think the video is good, but, please adjust the volume on your device.

Whats the name of the companion plant @0:26? cant figure out how to spell it so I can track one down for my melons.

[@branchesinthyme9070]

Nasturtium

[@branchesinthyme9070]

They are easy to grow from seed

[@amogus9122]

do baby plants need sun to grow? im keeping them inside bc its cold outside, but they dont get any sun here

[@amogus9122]

also they have only 2 leaves that look weak and have yellowish spots on edges

[@denisemiller8474]

Calcium keeps watermelon from rotting.most watermelon seeds now days have deterrent bred into keeping white spot fungus etc away

[@abdussalam6806]

Thanks for watching.

[@truthseekerKJV]

You mnetioned a plant that repels a certain pest, but you mumble and cannot be understood. Can you repat that in the comments please.

[@branchesinthyme9070]

@0:26 I mention Nasturtium. Is that where it is difficult to understand?

[@truthseekerKJV]

@@branchesinthyme9070 yep, it would have been helpful to point out the plant so it can be recognized.

[@kaosbboi]

I had the same comment, thank you for clarifying.

Your volume on your video is to low can't even hear you .my volume is up all the way.

[@branchesinthyme9070]

I'm sorry to hear that. Please try it again later and see if it resolves. I have occasionally had the same problem with videos from other channels. I recorded the voice for this video separately because it was raining that day. It has played fine across multiple devices. Thank you for letting me know.
The audio on this video will likely sound better for you. ruclips.net/video/RIlcAItpfbQ/видео.html
