Nice video i like it and of corse the water melon. Thank you for sharing your. It inspired to make video about water melon. Thank you and Mabuhay tayong lahat.
Yes when I start to see scratches on my melons I know that they're getting right. It's not a lot you can do to protect them other than put chicken wire around them.
@@BACKYARDGARDENER That's what I was thinking. This is our first year planting them. We are in Central Michigan. Right now the seedlings which were started in paper Dixie cups are about 4 inches long with a couple of leaves. Next week low night temps are supposed to be in the 40's. I guess I should wait another week before I transplant them outside. Thank for the info. It's always good to get advice from green thumbs like yourself to us green horns!
Gotta be honest, im jealous as hell. This was my first year going for sugar babies and my starts seem to have stalled out. And you got strawberries too!
Hey Backyard! Watermelons are the sweetness of summer! I'm growing Sugar Babies, Black Diamond, Crimson Sweet, and Blacktail Mountain in 3 different gardens. I wish that I could grow every variety that I've bought but I'd need 2 football fields of space.☺ Oh well. Thanks for sharing & HAPPY GARDENING!!!
I planted sugar baby watermelon for this first time this year. I’m pretty new to gardening. I stumbled on your page, and just want to say that you’re adorable!! Thanks for the tips.
Those vines and melons look fantastic BACKYARD GARDENER!! This video really inspired me! I'm currently growing watermelons here from seeds that I harvested from a store bought watermelon and the seeds produced two different varieties of watermelons, one of which I think may be sugar baby watermelons, the melons look just like these in your video, and the other variety I have identified as crimson. Thanks for the inspiration!
No problem my brother we Inspire each other. I'm playing catch-up with my videos .I definitely want to check that out sounds interesting two different seeds.
Sugarbaby watermelon is my favorite. I just started my round two seeds. I’m trying a bush type this fall. I got the seeds from Baker Creek. I’ll let you know if they taste as good as the regular sugarbaby watermelons. You have a beautiful watermelon patch. Thanks for sharing your great tips.
@@BACKYARDGARDENER well I have seen waterman plants grow without anything just by throwing them out in the yard the seeds that is what they are sugar babies so tell me something I don't agree with that
That one squashed in the gate made me laugh - 'Still keeps growing!' Impressive crop, trying these out for first time this year - in containers. gonna check out your earlier video about that next.
I have a sugar baby... my raised bed isn't deep enough but it is the most impressive thing in the garden this year.... I know this comment is late, but your garden looks lovely and ur watermelons are impressive!
I am so glad I watched this I have one sugar baby happy but the others keep dying and truth be told they do really only grow when we put the fertilizer down thank you some much I just subscribe ❤️❤️
Thank you for posting. Sugar baby are my favorite. Once the flowering is complete, and the melons are getting ready to get ripe, do you recommend cutting off any vines that are not carrying fruit? I have fruit on about 1/3 of my vines, and I'm wondering if it would give the vines WITH fruit more energy if I removed the non-fruiting vines. Do you ever cut away growth that you don't need?
We’re growing these for the first time this year! They’re in a container so I’m hoping they thrive well. Didn’t know they vine out so much until I checked on them today and then found your video! Maybe I should move them, although I think they’ll be ok where they are for now. Fingers crossed and thanks for the helpful info!
I have one of these in a 4x6 foot raised bed and it is growing out of it in every direction. The seed packet said three feet, but each vine has grown to about 10 feet and it is still growing.
@@BACKYARDGARDENER Yes, my beds are 18 inches tall. They climbed out, down and have started walking across the garden area. One of the vines climbed into the Carolina Reaper bed and we had to move it. It’s just one plant, but we live in a very hot and humid climate, so that might be why.
Im planting some right now. I'm in south Alabama, so have a good long growing season. Thx for video. Loved it. It's always fun to find watermelons hiding. 😁
Looks amazing! Can I start from seeds now in zone 7a? I read it's a good time to plant now for fall harvest, but reading comments here has me thinking it's late in the season. Do I need a trellis or can they grow out? I don't have room for a trellis yet.
Hello A.A. Yes you can start from seed. But try to start things that are less then 70 days like your Beats green beans greens squash eggplants. I hope that this helps and thank you so much for stopping in. enjoy your day 🌱
Good Afternoon Backyard Gardener, I have a question? This is my first time growing this year and I decided to add Sugar Babies, the plant is doing well in a "City Container" but I do not see the bees buzzing around the flowers. The Bees are with the Cucumbers but I don't see them on the Sugar Baby flowers will they be okay. Or should I move the container down by the cucumbers to make sure they are getting pollinated? Thank you in advance for your answer.
Hello Bees are not the only thing that will pollinate your garden. you have your butterflies and even certain crawling insects. As long as your plants is healthier and in full sun and you giving it the right amount of nutrients and water you will be just fine. Keep me posted on your progress
Is that just one plant or more then one? Sorry if you said it an I missed it 😊 Im growing 2 for the first time this year an planning to grow them vertically at the end of my raised bed. They are still only a bout 4 or 5 leaves so Im trying to get a feel of how much trellis room I need to cover 2 plants. And do you do any pruning to the plant?
Hello I'm sorry I can't think of the brand name off the top of my head but I did get it from either Home Depot or Lowe's. I normally fertilize my plants when I think that is needed if everything is looking less training healthy I don't bother them. If the plants are not looking so healthy I'll use fish fertilizer which is a liquid fertilizer. I really hope this helps thank you so much for stopping in
I know you did this a year ago, but I have a question. Can I grow these vertically? I only planted one plant, and it's really spreading out (too far). The vines are growing into my green peppers!
The one sugar baby I had didnt make it. I thought it was going great but then it just stopped growing and before I know it it rotted. The tendril closets to the fruit never turned brown so I continued to wait. Idk what happened.
I always get weird situation like this in my garden.....i just keep it pushing...keep learning...and you will get it right. Eventually.... Every year i get better
Help! I have a bountiful garden so far in California but when the tentacles closest to the sugar baby dried up the watermelon was a mushy green color not good. Another fruit had very dried tentacles had the yellowing on bottom turned out it was pink and mushy inside. I’m afraid I’m going to ruin my entire harvest by guessing 😢Any pointers on a size they should or shouldn’t be or anything else to help? Thanks in advance!
Hello im sorry you water melons are mushy. It sounds like you may be getting a lot of rain where you live or over-watering them. It only take 85 days from seed to harvest for a sugar baby melon.
@@BACKYARDGARDENER I'm planning on planting watermelons these days, we don't have the "sugarbabies" type where I live (Ecuador) but I think regular watermelons will do just fine. Anyway I envy your vines those watermet look so delicious!
Thank you very much for this. I'm starting some SB watermelon now in the Seattle area. What was the ratio of bone and blood meal you use for starter soil?
Tactical coffee welcome. I never use 10 10 10. With my melon. It seems to be a bit too high. I use fish and seaweed fertilizer which is a 511. I amend my soil with blood meal and bone meal. I normally use 10-10-10 around my fruit trees and grape Vines. Hope this helps
Nice garden. I am trying sugar babies for the second time. I'm also growing in red clay and started them as plants and seeds. So far it's been 60 days since planted. Some are bigger than others but I will look for the brownness on that plant before harvest. It seems that some vines have different size watermelons producing. Therefore I will have to use my judgment or depend on that brown color before harvesting any late bloomers. Thank you for your video. I'd love to see the results of one of your melons.
I started growing my first one and I’m very hopeful it makes it. Everyone keeps telling me I need to have a stick or something to have it grow up, is this true? I have it in a nice planter box for room to spread but I don’t have anything for it to grow up on, will it be okay?
Hi, from Ottawa, Canada! You sure have a knack for this! This is my first time trying to plant watermelons. I planted one sugar baby (from a local nursery) about 2 weeks ago. The pumpkin that I bought at the same time (same nursery) seems to be doing a lot better. They're both in the same raised bed and at least 1.5 feet apart. Does the sugar baby take a long time before the vines grow long and the flowers start? I'm not sure where you're located... but looks like you get a decent amount of sun for your garden. I am full sun. Do you get a lot of rain? We haven't gotten much rain so far this season so I water it daily ... sometimes 2 times because it's hot and dry... Is that too much water? sorry for the all the questions... just hoping you can share more of your growing tips on this plant. Oh... if you haven't already... it would be cool to see the harvesting process and to see the inside of one of yours
Ok yes your pumpkin Vines will grow much faster than your watermelon Vines. But the problem that you're going to run into is cross pollination having them in the same pot and the same area growing is a no no. The vines on your watermelon plant we'll take off in Groth as the weather gets hotter. if you can Tracy put on over in separate container at least 4 feet away from the other. Look up cross pollination . You may turn out with the new breed of a pumpkin melon🌱😵. Im here if you need me💞
@@BACKYARDGARDENER oh Jeez lol I will do this tomorrow then! Thank you not only for your great advice but your quick answer. imagine what the cross pollinated plant would be like! Makes me wonder. Like a pink pumpkin... we could name it baby punkin. ? Idk...lol anyway, thanks again!
@@BACKYARDGARDENER Just thought I would follow up and let you know I did move the melon plant to it's own part of the garden. She seems to be liking her new space. Still small but definitely, starting new growth. Thanks again.
