does anyone grow watermelons or any other melons?
Q
Comments (6)
melons (all kinds) need warm long season. If the season is short and cold fruits may not get big and ripen. The starter said that he did not get any melons. One reply was "did they ever flower?". Good question. If they don't flower there would be zero chane but if they did, there could be some chance butnot automatic. Melons family plants has two different flowers, male and female. The female has to get male's pollin in order to grow fruit. The insects, mostly bees do the job of polinating. There are other flying and non-flying insects which also become a pollinators. The chaces are you might not get any of those. In such cases you will not get any fruit, UNLESS YOU DO IT YOURSELF. Ther are other reasons fo melons not to fruit: (1) too much nitrogen, (2) Too much shade not enough sun. You can do a few things to improve the chances: Feed them fertilizers rich in phosphorus, poor in nitrogen, after they begin growing vine. Pinch the main, when it is about 4 ft long, to encourage latteral vines growth. Most female flower will appear on the latteral branches. Also, plant them in a location that they will get a minimum of 5 hours direct sun.

Bullfrog watermelon seeds? got any?
Q
Comments (3)
I know this is a long time ago, but I might. I was given / mailed some Bullfrog Watermelon seeds by a man in TN (I'm in VA) several years ago. I have not grown them in a few years but have a handful of seeds left in my freezer that may be viable - possibly. They have vines that are about 10 to 12 feet long and produce a moon and star type of watermelon but are smaller - maybe 7 to 10 lbs if I remember right.

any tips on growing watermelon & muskmelon from seed?
Q

I concur with what Dave has stated. In your zone, they would have plenty of time to develop ripe, beautiful fruit. I have had success by mounding my ÂhillsÂ, each planted with 3/4 seeds, and amending it with a lot or organic material (from my compost bin). They are hogs and love the extra nutrients. I also only water them in the evening to prevent powdery mildew (though it hasnÂt effected my fruit), and snip a few vines (in small increments) to promote fewer, but larger fruit. Just my opinion and what has worked for me. I am bummed, I turned my melon and pumpkin garden into ANOTHER dahlia/zinnia cutting bed : ). I will sure miss my fruit vines! Keriann~
