    It is Watermelon harvesting time, are they ready? In this video I harvest several watermelons. Growing watermelons was tough this year because of the animal pressure in the garden. I showed the watermelon harvesting signs to look out for. This includes the dry tendril and the yellow belly of the watermelon. I also talked about what to use as a guide if you felt the tendril dried to fast during the grow season. I also answered the question I get the most, "what do you feed the watermelons? In this video I also had a taste testing of the watermelon. The watermelon was a special surprise. It was a juicy juicy. I hope this vide will encourage non-growers to grow watermelon.

      The affects of cross-pollination won't be until the seeds from that fruit are grown out.
      Unless he replants his own seeds or the vendor had cross pollinated plants they won't be hybrid.

      HELLO KawakebAstra, Thanks for the compliment. That melon was so juicy. I can remember what type of seed it was. I do buy some heirloom seeds, and I just get some straight off the rack. I have not bought watermelon seeds in a few years. I get my seeds out of the melon. Some said those Crimson Sweet seeds were modified for that. It could be, but last year, my Crimson Sweet was red like every year. I pulled those seeds from that big one I harvested last year, but those melons were planted by yellow watermelon and orange tendersweets. I was in shock. I don't think you are being negative. Everything is high (especially food, well everything). Thanks for your kind words. I appreciate you.

Just to give you an idea how long it takes and look at the tendrils and bell. That first melon, for some reason, I noticed the tendril dried early, so I lifted it a little longer. I really do know what to tell. Maybe it was a rare occurrence. Do you remember around when you planted them? So go by same signs and count the days. It's an estimate.

    • @GrowSomethingTasty
      @GrowSomethingTasty  Před 2 měsíci

      HEY, Amaris!!!! If you don't know the varieties, do you know if they grow to be small melons? When you plant them, do you feed them nitrogen in the beginning? Have you seen my video How to Care for Melons during the growing season? In that video, I show how I get my melons larger by pruning. As for the taste, when it's almost time to harvest, the melons cut back on watering. This will make the sugars in the melons more concentrated, or it will be sweeter. I use compost tea as well to feed the plant to help with nutrients to increase the size.

    Get yourself a refractometer for less than a Jackson for a new toy. Get one that measures up to 30 or 32 brix but no higher, they describe them as for fruit, beer and/or wine. You could start brewing with one of those if you want. Yellow and White are the ancient/oldest forms of watermelon. Red is the newest. Red is bitter as a chemical so it can make a sweet melon seem a bit less sweet so Yellows can taste sweeter as they have no bitter reds in them to mute the sweet. You can even test you Cantaloupe as well with the refractometer. A typical watermelon will be 9-11 brix with the sweetest being over 12.

      @@GrowSomethingTasty the algorithm police don’t like me posting direct figures but I’ve seen them for four Washington’s back on a Jackson as the lowest. Some go high on their Brix scale like into the 50s or 70s or higher. No good as trying to read a 9 on a 90 scale is much harder than a 9 on a 32 scale. On a 90 scale you’d be squinting your eye and going well that could be a 9 or 10 or maybe almost 11. On a 32 you’d be like oh that’s looking about a 9 1/2. I had a 32 with Automatic Temperature Compensation and used it all the time, you just got to clean the glass between samples so you don’t leave a lot of sugar residue from a prior test to mix with a new sample.

      Cut the suckers and the end of the stems off right above where the water melon is growing out of the vine . This puts energy back into the watermelon. Also when growing use a calcium nitrate as a side dressing a few times while growing this helps the root system and makes your watermelon sweeter according to Hoss tools his videos show this. Not to turn the attention to Hoss because Brown has excellent suggestions.

      @@GrowSomethingTasty Don't be discouraged by that fact at all. Take your new hybrid seeds and plant them next year right next to a different variety of watermelon that will act as the pollinator for your hybrid seeds (they likely need a pollinator). If the plant grows melons you will have an interesting experiment on your hands, especially if you repeat the process the following year.

    Hey Bear quick question, is it normal for watermelons to get tiny bumps, almost like little pimples on them? They’re only on the bottom by the ground spot.
