I had no success in growing grass, but I had excellent success in growing watermelon.
We had rented a house in Central Florida. The yard was full of these sticker weeds. After two years there I was tired of getting the stickers out of my carpet etc. I found grass seed on clearance, buy one get one, dug up the yard with a handheld claw, and put down the grass seed. What came up in my front yard was watermelon. The year before my husband had engineered a lot of cookouts. My family had partaked in watermelon seed spitting contests off the front porch. I had watermelon growing the rest of the year. We harvested the last one on Christmas Eve. It has become a family story now, about how Mom planted grass and God gave us watermelon. Thank you so much for your videos they are so informative.

This is awesome. I watch all your videos! 2nd year gardener - 1st year growing melons. You've obviously experimented enough with these to have mastered it. Now I'm jumping right to this knowledge. Thank you for sharing this!!!!

One neat trick is to put a bit of rooting hormone at nodes in the vine. Wrap with a little mound of good dirt. This gives it more roots to get more nutrients.❤

I love your videos. You are articulate and straight forward. No extra fluff. Thank you!

I'm glad you spoke of hand pollination. Up here in the mountains of Oregon we don't have many bees. I hand pollinate tomatoes and peppers (with an electric toothbrush), melons, cucumbers, squash varieties and tomatillos, with tons of success.

I grow my watermelons on straw, I've found weed fabric causes vines to rot because it's either too slow to drain, or don't drain at all, plus straw provides something for vines to grab on.

I love the format you are using that shows the breakdown of what you are teaching along the side of the video. You do a lot of work and it shows in your excellent presentation. You are becoming very polished and professional. Bravo

I love the man and his gardening techniques. His delivery of information is A

I wasn't so keen on TMG when I first came across the channel, but after going through a lot of the videos and seeing how thorough he is in his advice and research, and how prolific he post, I can say he's definitely me favourite now

this goes against every video ive seen saying to choose 2-4 per plant lol i like it tho man, proving them wrong. Im gonna do half and half. let half my plants produce as many as they want, and half ill keep to 2-4 melons. im curious what the results will be, ill post about it for sure. love your videos man

[theorangevestarmy]

Excellent video, fantastic tips, this Gen x gardener is still learning, so young dogs can teach old dogs new tricks, thanks!

[JustinMentionedIt]

This is exactly how I do mine, straw fish and everything, that fish emulsion is amazing it has mushrooms growing in every hole

[bigboi]

Great info! I grew watermelon in zone 7b but they didn't do well this year. I will definitely use your pointers next year

[myurbangarden]

Melons are the one crop I have been successful with. Sugar babies, crenshaw and Korean Melon have. THRIVED in the Texas heat along my drip hose line.🍉

[cmax]

Great information! I was thinking about trying to grow watermelon, but had no idea how. Thank you for posting! Have a blessed day 😊

[becsaw]

Incredibly helpful video. I will definitely implement these tips come summer. Many thanks from the southern hemisphere.

[yourMARKIE]

Thank you I love farming and gardening♥️🌱

I happen to live on the Leelanau Peninsula in Michigan. It was interesting to see this, as I had no idea we had our own variety.

Another fantastic video! I am planting my watermelon seeds this week. Wish me luck 😃
