Very educating video.Quick question... how many seed do I plant to nurse in a cup before transplanting and for how many weeks? Secondly, Can I use mixture of chicken drops and black soil as compost if I can't get compost in the market and what name is that item you mix with compost? Finally, what is the best liquid fertilizer for watermelon.? Your immediate response will be highly appreciated! Thank you.

Good timing. Decided more of my non garden backyard area needed to be used. Seeded gold in gold watermelon at the base of a trellis. (As well as backups in seed trays) growing a sangria in ground, baby doll (yellow) in ground and mini piccolo (along with male plant) in ground. Might also try the piccolo on trellis and hand pollination from the sangria. Zone 9b (mojave) with mixed soil as the yard is basically sand.

Wow great video and it came at just the right time. I had some cantaloupe seedlings planted from your melon seed collection and the cottontail bunnies ate them down to stubs. I was so discouraged. Then I watched this video and I will plant again with maybe some chicken wire to protect them. Thanks for your awesome video.
@QueenKaleGardener
@QueenKaleGardener 4 года назад
You mentioned using the good dirt plant food in the beginning because of its high nitrogen levels and how it encourages green leafy growth. Then after it starts to flower I think you said at that point you only give it the worm tea. Would you recommend that for things like tomatoes, peppers, and other vegetables like that? Start with the high nitrogen and then cut it off when it begins to bear fruit?

@smoothkid765
@smoothkid765 2 года назад
you can actually tell by the tendril/feeler things that grow out directly near the melon. Each vine should have the melon, a leaf, and then a tendril growing out from around the same spots, all along the vine. When the melon is the appropriate size/weight for the cultivar you're growing, check out your tendrils. if they're a bit brittle, and drying, your melon should be ripe.

Is it OK to plant 2 watermelon in the same spot in a container? I'm growing and I thought it wasn't a good idea to plant them on top of each other the way you did on tour video. I'm almost ready to transfer them to a large pot. So is it OK to have 2plants growing right next to each other a half inch apart or should I space them out single and opposite sides in pot? I started them 2 each in small starting containers.is that OK or no?

Your videos have been my go to guide for everything gardening! Anytime I have a qualm I always reach for my phone and finger jab my google search bar,click clack my issue into the keyboard and am usually met with results that are either conflicting &/or biased or content thats completely unrelated ..its like the worst therapy session you can imagine .. Unless my qualm is a gardening woe.. In which case I type my issue like normal but add "calikim" at the end and I'm met with success each&every time! So thank you for that! However I have a more specific type of question I'm hoping you can help me with..I know you said watermelons love hot weather and 70-90° is best but what about when the weather is consistently in the triple digits. Like 108-112° for several weeks straight.. Is this too much heat? Should I be providing them with more shaded time rather than the full sun like recommended? Because in my experience, plants that claim to require full sun or a minimum of 8hrs of direct sunlight each day have actually withered to near demise when I complied with that suggestion. Even my aloe couldn't seem to handle it. My watermelons are just staring to grow now and I want to get your feedback before I transplant them into their permanent home pot (my diy version of a smart pot made from landscape fabric-not to toot my own horn but *beep* *beep*! Proud of myself for that one!)I want them to have the best chance cuz this year I want some edible watermelons damn it! Last year was an epic failure in all aspects except for my peppers& cucumbers which I thought turned out fantastic! The cucumbers were actually super sweet but I was told that could be why my watermelons and cantelopes were not as I planted them all right next to one another..along with eggplant, corn, 3 tomato varieties, &3 pepper varieties. Did i mention it was my very first garden EVER? I couldn't decide so I was like screw it, let's do this! Plant them all! My tomatoes actually weren't bad but my god I couldn't contain them! I couldn't eat or give enough away to even make a dent in the yield. They just kept coming! And then they got a massive webby spider mite what seemed like over night that I wasn't able to erradicate..but it was towards the end of the season anyway so I just dug everything up &figured I'd try again next year! Fast forward to next year and I have a stupid gopher that refuses to leave and I refuse to kill.. Hence the growing watermelon in pots. I'm determined to have edible ones this year! Last year they were awful! I over watered,under fed(I actually didnt feed at all lol) and I kept flipping the watermelons over ignorantly believing this to be a good thing lol. The garden was basically an epic fail so I decided this year just try 1 or 2 things MAX. lol I'll be damned if I'm going to allow myself to flub it up this year and I believe youre going to be my secret weapon against what I call the garden ghouls..an invisible monster that destroys gardens..cuz I like being able to put the blame on something else instead of my own lack of knowledge and thats the best I could come up with lol

looks awesome Kim...Im planting sugar baby melons in many areas, where ever i can hahaha. Lovem. . I'm thinking that smart pot is gonna be crowded...might not be enough air circulation Kim. Dont want mildew. Hmm. Well, i hope all goes well because when they quickly spread and growup....gonna be tuff to try and take that center one out. Just my concern and an observation. Other than that..i love your videos....by the way...I did your smart pot/sac compost method...but i used my geo bin...also key was the black plastic cloak and lid i made for it...3 days after i made it...went to 160 degrees..turned it (basically lifted the geo bin off of the pile, and just garden forked the pile back in) Tried to do it every 3-5 days....after 3 weeks..it was done. First time ever!! Key seems to be turning it every 3 days or so. Thankyou...

Hi . I love my basil especially the thai basil, did what you said ie propograted them in water but ten days later no roots have appeared 🙁 what am i doing wrong!?
@codegirl2069
@codegirl2069 4 года назад
10 days in water would cause drowning of the young embryo. Keep them in water for 12 to 24 hours to speed up the germination process. Or you could use the baggy method. Basil is much easier to just plant in soil straight away. I have tons of seedlings and planted mine 2 weeks ago. Hope that helps.

Very educating video.Quick question... how many seed do I plant to nurse in a cup before transplanting and for how many weeks? Secondly, Can I use mixture of chicken drops and black soil as compost if I can't get compost in the market and what name is that item you mix with compost? Finally, what is the best liquid fertilizer for watermelon.? Your immediate response will be highly appreciated! Thank you.

When growing in a 20 lb Grow Bag, how many watermelon/melon plants work best in each one? I noticed you had planted just one plant per bag previously. Wondering if you get a better yield with more plants per container?

I have a few sugar baby watermelons planted in a 15 gal smartpot. How often should they be watered? The container gets plenty of sun on our south-facing deck here in Central Texas.

I have a cage that is sturdier than a tomato cage. I'm hoping that I am growing my Sugar Baby correctly. I think I can use tomato clips? Tying or clipping the fruit might be the tricky part.

My balcony only gets morning sun, early afternoon (1:00-2:00) the sun moves around to the other side of my house. I believe toms, watermelon and other full sun plants will be out of reach for me for a while. Still watched the whole video. Your garden is beautiful! 💚🌱
@CaliKim29
@CaliKim29 4 года назад
Hello BassetLuv - You can actually plant smaller varieties of tomatoes and full sun plants and do pretty well in 1/2 day of sun. Watch for my Container Garden Series starting in a week or so for more tips, and Container Garden Seed Collection available at about the same time. Definitely a smaller variety of watermelon like sugar babies would be the way to grow. You might not get as many as you'd get in full sun, but it's so worth it. Thanks so much for watching the whole video, and so happy that you enjoyed the garden!

Our sugar watermelon is growing lots of healthy vines on the ground sprawled across 4 metres and we have flowers but no fruit yet! I'm going to try pollinate them myself tomorrow! Is it too late to lift the vines off the ground on to a trellis. Ditto question for the one rockmelon we have growing next to the watermelon. What is the worm feed you use? Not sure we have it here in Sydney, Australia. Thanks for your help

Random question. I have a 20 gallon bag that I wanted to grow more than one thing in and when I watched your video I thought that maybe I could do this so I'm just going to ask a question the question is can I grow watermelon and green peppers or bell peppers in the same 20lb container?
