I am so excited for watermelons too!! Started too late here, and the vines weren't happy and didn't start actually growing until the end of August 😂 not even flowering yet!! Gardening at usask has a nice list of cultivars from their earlier studies and north Dakota's university!! I plan om trying to find some cream of saskatchewan watermelon seeds, it's a white one amd looks fun!! Cultivated in Manitoba so should do decent as well!!
Oh wow!! This is some great information! Thank you so much!! I’m still holding hope to get 1 watermelon off one of my plants, but yes I definitely want to try more next year! What zone are you in or where are you located?
@@outgrowin Your watermelon did look really nice, hope you luck out and get to enjoy it!! No worries, I hope it helps some!! Usask is a good resource, and their spring sale is pretty awesome too!! About an hour give or take north of you!!
Amazing! Yes actually I’ve taken most of the prairie horticulture program from Usask so I am quite familiar what some of what goes on there, they definitely have a wealth of information for growers! I have never made it to one of the sales but would love to one day!
@@outgrowin Oh that's really awesome, good job!! It must have been fun playing in their garden!! It is definitely worth the drive!! Especially when they do online pre-order, make it feel like less of a gamble lol!!
The program is all online for the prairie Hort certification so I didn’t get to play in the garden but I bet that would be amazing to see! I’m for sure going to look into their plant sale for next season! Thanks for filling me in. It’s about a 2 hour drive so it’s good to know you can pre order! So exciting!
what a great melon patch you have. those look soooo good
Thank you so much! 😊 They have turned out delicious!! I can’t wait to try more next year!
