How to Grow Watermelon from Seed in Containers | Easy Planting Guide 

Hi I am new subscriber. The only problem I have with your videos is that once I start watching I can't stop. Keep it up I appreciate your knowledge sharing

As always you make me believe I can grow anything 😊

WOW!!! These watermelons are one in a MELON 🍉😅…. I can almost smell and taste the sweetness!! Enjoy the result of your amazing work! 😋 The hardworking farmer should be the first to receive a share of the crops. 2 Timothy 2:6

Thank you watermelon plant for all you provided!

Excellent method!! I will definitely try this in my spring garden 2024. I am excited about this as I don’t have a lot of space to grow watermelons. Thank you for sharing this video, I appreciate it!

Very straightforward & helpful step-by-step video. Thank you!

This is great. Fun and inspirational--as always. Thank you.

Lovely video, thank you for sharing and being a huge inspiration!

I love the Trellis you made👍❤

Easiest video I've watched so far. Great job!

This made me smile. I just let mines grow wild in the grass. I want to try this

Watching your very thorough videos gave me, a gardening novice, the confidence needed to start veggie gardening. I’ve harvested some cucumbers, Swiss chard and now growing some Black Beauty watermelons so this is perfect. Thanks!

Just realise how long i have been followed you. Watching Ahao grow up, Dawang be fatten up and your baking skill level up over years has been one of my great joys.

Wow I absolutely love this video. I am going to do this thank you for sharing this great way to plant mini watermelons.

I am so ready to try this. Thanks for sharing. Very easy to follow. My kids loves watermelon so I figure it can be something for everyone of us to do.

Wish we have this variety here,I love the mini one it's way more easy to slice🍉

Awesome video! First time growing organic watermelon from seed here in New Zealand 🇳🇿 looking forward to seeing my lot get on. Your lot looked delicious.

Mini watermelons looks sweet; I like your idea of the DIY trellis with bamboo.

love your channel, thank you so much!

This was so helpful! thank you!

Thank you for the helpful step-by-step video.

I am very picky with my likes and who I subscribe to and you earned them both. I watched few of your videos a while back and even bookmarked them but few day ago I was hooked after I watched this video and the video on how to grow Wee Be Little Pumpkin. Enjoyable to watch, calming, informative and productive. You show us what you grow and how to without need to have a selfie on each video. You gave me idea on on this variety which is perfect to small space and I really like how you made a simple and effective trellis another great idea. I hope you have lots more success with your harvest and RU-vid.

lovely and impressive too!

The trellis idea = genius. I do the sugar baby watermelon and get like a basketball. I just use stray black cow manure .

Great video, I'll try watermelon in my container garden this year. THANKS

I love your videos :) you really show an efficient way to garden

Wow amazing video, thanks for sharing Sir. It is very interesting.

This is a wonderful video. In UK weather is too unpredictable so I’m going to try it hydroponically under lights. I love your trellis , I can just picture it against the wardrobe in my spare room ❤

After watching all your vids, I can only say this - Other than God, you seem to have nature literally at your command /fingertips! Every seed you sow grows so magnificently & majestically! I'm hooked + inspired. Thx you.

Thank you very much for sharing this video. Wish you all success...

Great video! Can't wait to harvest my Mini Loves. I have 6 plants and maybe a couple more weeks until some of the melons are ripe.

Saved in the gardening playlist 👍

Finally found a video that explains everything thank you

Absolutely fantastic! You make it look so easy....even when it may not be...exceptionally informative videos. Would like to see what insects or virus' or bacteria affect melons and watermelons? As always, thank you for these videos. 😊

Спасибо за видео. Как много семечек у арбуза, в покупных арбуза такого нет,это значит что ваши арбузы очень хорошие и вкусные.

Awesome 👍😎.

I love this video...thank you. New subscriber.

I love your videos! I would love to see your grow lights set-up to start the seeds. That would be super helpful. Thank you!

👍 好棒！鼓掌 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

I love love watermelon and have always want to try but was afraid.. Headed to get me some seeds and try . Thanks you video very helpful will keep you posted. I’m in Dallas Texas

Thanks for sharing

Hi im just new subscriber I love watching your water melon my fav fruits

Hi… Love all your videos.. It’s great to see so many people subscribing to your channel. Love that for you. Just had one question, did you make any changes in the frequency of watering when the fruits started to mature? I have read that less watering makes the watermelon taste more sweeter. Have you made any changes in your watering? If not, did you find any difference in the taste of the fruit? Please do let me know. TIA!

Rất tuyệt vời đó bạn

Your channel is so good!

They look delicious.

I'm going to give it a shot in my NYC backyard thanks to you...Thinking that the begining April would be a good time to start due to the freezing weather that we have now😊

I need these in my garden 💯

Wooooow that was effin awesome 👌

Thank you for the video! Super straight forward and right to the important points :) Just wondering, what size grow bags did you use?

Hey! I am looking to start growing my own watermelon (sugar babies) due to having a smaller growing space. When you say “Seed starting mix” do you mean use a seed starting mix on top of the coir+perlite or would I be using the coir+perlite as the seed starting mix?

Hello! Beginning gardener here 😊 What are the clear things you used to clip vines in place (not the zip ties but the circular clear looking ones). Also - How do the watermelons not snap off with no support? I’m used to seeing people tying some sort of rag or net to hold melons up. Thank you!

Hi...your videos are so useful for container gardening. Can you tell me which grow bag brand you are using also the nursery pot brand? If you could make one video on how to make your own potting mix also will be useful. I am depending on packed potting mixes from nursery for now

really beautìul and clean😜

Came for watermelon learned easy trellis good video

Goods ide..and inspirative..🍉👍

I had a question to keep crops warm during the frost season would you recommend something like a plastic cover or even tarp I know you can get a greenhouse but the other ways could work right or any recommendations?

Thank you for your videos. If I could ask a question what week did you start fertilizing was that at the 10 week mark or was that when you first planted your seedlings?

Thank you for the video, I have a question about starting inside. I have some seeds do I need to put them under a grow light on top of a grow mat? Or under a dome under a grow light and keep them moist? I’m in zone 6b Michigan if that helps.

Saludos saludos..

@towardgarden, can you do other. Videos about growing different plants cause I think you should do a tutorial about growing cacoa pods

I love it

I love your wire mesh trellis, I have looked it up and can’t seem to find it anywhere, do you have a link where you got it!

Am growing my watermelons in containers, but I am using Clothing Bins, so any way, I used soil mix, sand, perlite & all purpose fertilizer, mix it all up and wholla the plants are growing up a steel mesh trellis, and I got about 10 watermelons in different stages of growth. I planted the Black Diamonds, and also Catalops. Watermelons are costing close to $10 each, and the cantaloupes are all most $5.00 each. So w/these 2 plants growing really well, I got like about $200 in Watermelons & Cantaloupes alone. Watering them, well I had a gallon jug, so what I did, I cut off the top, and I got my sprayer w/fertilizer and aimed it into the gallon jug, and counted 15 seconds, then I poured the water from the gallon jug into a measuring cup. The total of amount of water was 1 3/4 Cups . So for each plant I put the sprayer to the base of the plant, and count to 15. This method saves me a lot of water, before I was using the gallon container until I got the Whopping Water Bill. Now I only use about 2.5 Gallons of water at the 15 second rate, for 30 different plants. W/the grass that I cut each week, I use that as mulch and I mean thick mulch, but I make a "cup" around the base of the plants to put water in, each time I water I make sure my sprayer has water soluble fertilizer of 20-20-20. So far so good. I am very please w/the garden growing, this is my 2nd year, I kept a log as to what I did each year. Please note that on Watermelons and Cantaloupes, the fruit does not grow near the stem of the plants, the vines have to grow I would say about 5 feet for water melons and about 6-7 feet for Cantaloupes, that is what has happen to my plants. Each Watermelon & Cantaloupe has a nylon mesh tied on each side, one side higher than the other, to hold up the weight of the fruit, I don't want the stem going into the fruit to have to put any stress by the weight of it. Lastly, because my back yard is so small, I had to go "UP" w/my plants, and I did not want to dig up what yard I have so I think that for me, Watermelons & Cantaloupes grow better on a Steel Mesh trellis growing upwards not only because of the weight but be cause the bees do not have to fly so low to the ground to pollinated them. Could be that is why I got so many watermelons growing on the steel mesh trellis because of the bees flying high. I hope this post helps someone to at least have an idea as to how to grow these fruits and save money. Thank You.

Hi, how do you estimate the ratio when preparing the soil to maintain the required pH? Thanks for great inspiration.

Very nice and good hands

They will do just as well in a 5-gallon bucket. Saves on potting soil.

I've got fox farm soil which is super rich. I am thinking I don't need compost. I'm also using fox farm fertilizer

Very nice👍

I had the same idea for a trellis and wanted to do that for my container cucumbers but couldn't find any of that wire mesh anywhere. Are you in North America? If so, can I ask where you found this square wire mesh? Thank You! P.S. This summer is a good one for growing melons. Lots of hot days, relatively low humidity.

Love this video! Where did you get the wire mesh? I’m having trouble finding something like it. Thanks!

Can talk about how calming the instrumentals are. 😊😊

Your video is very useful, I like it very much, thank you, hope you share more videos😍

Wow, love the trellis idea!! You don’t have to support the weight of the watermelons at all?

Thank you for sharing your information which season is good for planting watermelon

Love this ❤️. What month should I start planting?

Awesome! Do the melons ever get to heavy for the vines?

Where do you get your plant clips? Also do you use grow lights for your seedlings?

Thank you very much for a very detailed video. I will try growing watermelons in a grow bag this year. I have been unsuccessful in protecting the fruits from squirrels. How do you protect the fruits from squirrels?

3 questions: what size are those grow bags? Did you ever prune them while growing? Would adding worm-castings make a difference?

Hi, I'd like to try this but cannot find the wire gauge you used. I'd also would like to use that same wire to make better tomato cages. Please advise, ty

Nice

WoW! Praise Allah🤲...I want to try pray that I can please!🙏

Yummy 😋 I want some

Wow 😲where can I find those seeds? Your Mini Watermelons look super delicious. Be Blessed and Keep Teaching all of us how to grow AMAZING Produce🙏🏾☺️

Look awesome I hope my plants 🌱 can have fruits 😊

Does watermelon grow slower in winter? Is this best to grow beginning of summer? I've started the very last week of summer here in New Zealand. It's been about 12 wks now. Still very small.

What a great video. This will be my first year doing watermelons. I am growing a Desert King variety. will this grow bag/trellis method work for the large variety melons? If not, what do you suggest? average 20lbs

The music is ao soothing

Vidio yg sangat menarik

do you prune the watermelon after getting 1-2 fruits to keep the plant focused on the fruit?

Thank you for posting the video. I tried last year but the leafs dried and they started getting white and died. I believe its a pest problem. What do you suggest?

Great video, thanks for sharing! By any chance do you do videos with only the sound of the work your doing? No background music, hearing the containers and tools tap and what not was sort of my favorite part of it all😂 Anyways, again, Thankyou for sharing this video with us.

I got a 3x1 fabric garden bed thats says it hold 3 cu ft but it actually hold more that im going to do this to next year

In the first 6 weeks before planting them. I know you provided filtered sunlight but was this indoors or outdoors?

Awesome video! How much garden lime should I add to my 10 gallon grow bag?

So do you start all seeds from that type size of cup? Is it 3 or 4 inch size pot? Also do you use slow-release fertilizer every two weeks or is it the liquid soluble fertilizer? Do you recommend to use some type of mulch?

superb

How long of bamboo sticks did you get?
