How fast do watermelons and cantaloupes (crimson sweet and sierra gold) grow flower fruit? I don't know but this is how fast mine do. Im in the middle of the season and it just started. I should have a productive summer if all goes well. I use miracle gro and worthless soil to grow them. No compost or mulch or anything like that. watermelon time lapse but not timelapse like fast forward more like showing them at different times. lame but it's all I got.

can female and male flower grow in the same plant?

You dont need to water Watermelons after the fruit has started

I keep trying to plant Cantaloupe from seed, and it grows into a plant fast, and even flowers, but than it just dries off

Believe it or not, I live in Las Vegas, NV and I planted cantaloupes in my back yard in April, today I'm picking my first ripe one. I made some mistakes and probably next year I will do better.

where is the watermelon tree ?

I'm in Maryland. My melons are only the size of golf balls, but they're coming. This is my first year gardening, so I'm hoping for a good harvest!

👍

I will try that because Jamaica is so hot

Thanks for the video ! I think I have a watermelon vine growing in my front garden !from all if the watermelon my family has eaten this summer !! LOL. I have no idea when to water them....

I thought I wasn't going to get any watermelons this year---2015, but wow, I have about 15 actually growing!!
But maybe you or someone can help with my problem! Keep in mind that this is the very first time I am trying to grow several vegetables and fruits.
I am in Northwest Indiana, near lake Michigan.
Anyway, the melons are about one half a foot long and about 3 to five inches round. BUT, there is ---one some of them---a black pasty substance, kind of slippery sticky!! I do not know if it is caused by insects (I have noticed black crickets around and under the grass!), or some kind of fungus, but if I am not careful, this may destroy all the melons that are now growing!
Thanks

Thanks for posting this.

This is my first year growing melons. I have vertically planted two watermelon (about 6 inches apart), a cantaloupe, and honey dew (about 6 inches apart)....The cantaloupe are the most aggressive! What happens when the watermelons split open? They are on a trellis, but have now grown along the ground. Why are those on the ground splitting???

I planted watermelon from seed a month or so ago, now I have plenty of vines seemingly growing everywhere---but NO watermelons!
My wife's sister says I will not get any melons the first year! Am I in too big a hurry, or is she right!

That all looked very good!! Did you plant any melons this year?? I will check your videos and see Thanks paul

Is there any ways you repel animals?

Did you film this from the prison in The Walking Dead?

I'm growing tomatoes, cucumber and cantaloupe! ^-^

That explains it....Where I live you dont even thingk of planting until the first of June !!

You have mellons in April ??? My god where do you live, Florida ??? We never even plant untill at least the middle of may in Idaho !!

you said you are giving the pant 1 gallone of water every day, if the full growing period of water melon is 4 months that means for one plant you are watering 120 gallon of water, Where as each plant might give 3 or four watermelon, dont you think you are using lots of water per plant?
