IS this one plant ?

I have gone threw, I think all your videos nothing on pruning cucumbers? (God bless)

can you do this style of gardening using container/grow pots?

I follow that you prune to get one melon per vine. Approximately how many vines do you get from a single plant?

hey my water melons did not make it to maturity they began to rott at the bottom what do you think went wrong

Very helpful

Have a volunteer Sugar Baby that came up. Used your advice on cutting the vine after the fruit and it works great. Mine took off after doing it. Thanks

I don't prune ANY of the vines because I want maximum leaves on the plant to increase sugar...I do however ensure that I get no more than 3 melons per plant so the energy is concentrated into 1 to 3 melons

I read recently that pruning vines is not necessary and that the vines help sweeten the watermelon.
In those comercial fields in Georgia where they grow tons of watermelon, I have to wonder if they are out there pruning the vines.

well dne boy...........

should i put anything under my melons as they are growing to keep the bottom of the fruit from rotting or getting eaten by bugs

LDSPrepper does the same procedure you just showed us can it apply to Melorange melons??? its the first time im growing them and i only planted one melon worth of seeds, and ho boy im getting huge vines spreading everywhere! i already have a few hand size melons, this are said to only grow about 4in in diameter, but by now they are bigger and still not ready...can i apply this procedure?? thank you!

Excellent, thanks a lot

Good info brother my watermelons are looking spectacular!

Great video! Do you know how many plants were in there?

I try to plant them in NZ and hope so much to be success. Thank you for sharing your tip. :)

This is my first year gardening. My watermelon plants look great. I'm glad I watched this. I definitely have some pruning to do.

I don't know about the "giant" part but yeah, right on target LDSer.
