Lady u r a generous. So much detail and explanation you really love what you do. Thank you for sharing the knowledge. I will give it another try here in Florida were bugs and fungus kill the plant before even flower or create a fruit.

HI Susan, thanks so much for your answer. I'll give that a try and hope it works better this year.

Took some quick notes back on 6-17-22 on this YouTube video. I was reviewing my notes today, 9-10-22, and was struck by how logical & concise they were. Have subscribed & thumbs up! Love cantaloupes & other melons. Thanks for such a good job.

Aaaaahhhh wwwaannna perfect Melon!!!!🌻💚😂🤣🤣🤣😭 One thing that I learned from the farmers market since we live way out here in the middle of nowhere and can't get a good melon in a grocery store if you try...? is the little ladies that sell the watermelons tell me to rub the melon and feel for bee pricks because they go for the sugar after it rises to the skin and dang it if they aren't right !!!perfect watermelon every single time!! God bless!!!

Thank you! You are so easy to pick up practical tips from. I follow you from Sweden. And the trick with the direction of the seed, I had forgotten.

I love the video Susan. My wife has implemented your tips this year successfully. I will comment at the end of the season for results. She got very successful seedlings and so far we are doing pretty good. Thank you for sharing

Thanks for sharing this and in the right time. I’m growing melon for the first time this year. I’m living in Norway, so we have a short season, but I will try. Happy gardening to you, Susan.

I love your channel Susan! So glad I found you (or the channel found me). You're providing a wealth of information! I'm also in a Zone 5 climate - in Michigan, so I'm always glad to find another Z-5 gardener.

Thank you for this great Vedio! I am high up on the mountains. We plant no earlier than Memorial Day weekend.

[goldinetittle]

Thanking for sharing lovely l will try with the method you explain. God bless.

[simpson]

I will try all these tips on my melon seedlings. Thank you.

[loragorton]

Thank you for all your help in growing melons. I learned so much. I checked out Gardener's supply and one of their articles said, "Melons are also a little fussy about watering. They need moderate, consistent watering from germination until the fruit achieves the size of a tennis ball; then preferably no water at all until harvest." Have you found that so?

I'm in the UK and growing melons for the first time, I was surprised to see how many you packed into such a small area, everything I'd read indicated a much wide spacing. I don't have much space so I'm going to try increasing the density in some of my beds. I also like that you only prune after the plants are growing strongly, rather than just allowing 4 side shoots to grow and only one melon per side shoot. You method of pruning seems easier : All the best - Steve
