This year, Envii tried growing a watermelon in the UK 🍉 We thought it would be a great challenge for our products given the UK climate. Here's what happened!
I grew a watermelon in my nans alotment pitch when I was child. I forgot about it until my nan called me one day and I said the melon was ready to harvest, the melon wasn’t ripe enough though and tasted bitter. But that was one of the last memories I had with my nana.
That’s wassup, I just started this year and I hope that I will thrive this summer
Beautiful memory. Even cooler that u forgot about it and just had a whole melon one day lol
He reminds me of mr bean , The watermelon Competition 😂
🥰👍🏻
Same 😂🤩
😂❤

Same lol
YOU SUPPOSED TO LEAVE IT LONGER. NICE ONE THOUGH
How long?
I thought it didn’t look fully ripe 👍
@ashleis4070 when harvesting a watermelon look at the tendril closest to the stem the watermelon is attached to, if it's all the way dried up and brown and the watermelon has a nice big cream or yellow spot where it has sat on the ground you are usually good to go, now if you're growing a giant variety look for 3 dried tendrils and the leaves along the stem to die back along with the belly spot that touches the ground, also you can take a large knife and lightly smack the watermelon long ways, if it immediately bursts open or you hear a crack or both then it's definitely ready, if not ready the watermelon won't give at all, they also go from a shiny rind to dull so be sure to pay attention throughout the season so you will notice the difference 😀
Yeah and water less at the end
Actually they left it too long. The air pocket inside.
Your knowledge took a long time to acquire, with a lot of trial and error. I sincerely thank you for your generosity in sharing your growing knowledge it's priceless to us all. It's good to see you looking better❤
Still had at least a week left to mature on vine. Anyone that has experience growing a similar variety would've recommended not to harvest yet. I was definitely hoping you weren't going to cut it off but then...Hope you left others on longer after that. Watermelon can definitely be grown with success in UK with greenhouse
It did look very unripe. I thought maybe it was because it doesn't get hot enough there. Have you told them what to look for to know when it's ready?
Hey can you teach me how to do it please
@@WokeSlapper the tendril on the vine next to the fruit has to dry up before the watermelon is ripe
@@3_up_moon no I meant like grow one from scratch am new lol
That had no color. Next time don't water it for 2 weeks before harvest and leave on vine longer
Polineted by colour brush 🖌️ we r loosing bees 🐝😢😢😢
depends if he lets them in the green house..
No, that's just to make sure they all get pollinated. Bees don't want to make sure they get melons from every blossom like home gardeners do
Definitely not ripe
The stem definition wasn't all the way brown. Picked to early.
It requires sunlight to get ripe
watermelons need lots of sun, that watermelon from that tent is to whiteish inside, like a sponge and i guess that is how it tasted. where is that watermelonseed from ? why are there no bees for polination ? you had to do the polination artificially by a little brush to mimik bee polination. good that people grow plants for food. 🍉🍊🍋🍎🍇🍈🍒🍑🍓🌶
Well, looks like it turned out great! Way to go! I love your smile at the end when you're holding that melon! You're so deserving and you're smile is so lovely and proud of your hard work.
In the south they just grow wild bigger then that out the back door every year when qe toss them out back
How many days approx? I'm starting some with my kids in Vernont USA tomorrow. Says they're 110 day grows....we shall see
What is the variety and how to get the seeds
Beautiful plants u have
Esa sandia no esta en su estapa de cosecha aún
Super cool! With the right soil and light, you can grow watermelon anywhere. Now if you tried it straight in UK soil, I doubt you would yield much cos of the soil composition. I can only grow it in Colorado in containers or completely altered beds of soil. Too much clay and other useless sediments.
I’m a first time grower In the uk I have 5-6 lemon plants started to grow I have. 20-30 tomato plants growing I have some kiwi seeds growing, some honey dew melon seeds growing and Some chillis plants growing and I’m attempting watermelon 🍉 I looooove growing my own food my flat looks like a Jungle with all the plants 😂 good job I can transport them to my dads allotment when they are big enough
Nice setup! I love it
Look at you! 👏👏👏 very nice!
It’s awesome seeing people grow their own food. You did good. ❤️💚
What can be soo better than... Fresh watermelon in hand... Yum ❤
Try sniping the seed on the top so water can collect easier, it will make your seeds grow in about 2 days
They should wait a little more its not fully ripe yet
Infinite food!! Yess! We need a farm and some spare oxygen!!!!! We have life to do! Starvation will end!!!
Wow 😍
Those plant boxes looks great. So in essense those plant boxes are like wooden pots. But they will rot in years.
Congratulations 🎊
Looks like you succeeded
Amazing! My "Charleston Grey" Watermelon has female flower.
I grew a watermelon tree a few years ago
.
Its massive now and yields several watermelons a year
.
The trick is picking them before they fall out the tree as they explode on impact otherwise
yeah and grew a money tree last year. it gives me about 200 dollars in cash every month, best investment I have ever made
😊😢❤😢😮😅
Good for you. I'm going to try it now.
Oblong is how a watermelon should look. They're easier to cut than a round one.
Very interesting. I am also growing watermelon
Congratulations 🎉
I have also grew the water man but it is very small and it is very sweet also❤
Wait until that vine is brown and shriveled before harvesting.
Great work👍
What you use with brush 🖌️🤔
Beautiful
My watermelon is 6 weeks old, but it really doesn’t look good. The leaves aren’t big, and the bottom leaves are yellowing. Is it because I didn’t give it a support system
Beautiful!!❤
Why Is Nobody Talking About He Did Not See The Spikes In Hand Because He Got Spoked
What natural fertilizers should be given to get big watermelon fruit
Natural?
Manure, diluted urine, bonfire ash, kitchen vegetable waste
What's the stuff he put on the yellow leaves
I think you harvested the melon too soon. The vine attached was still too green. Good try though. How did it taste?
Was it sweet?
What time of year did you grow waster melon please xx
Seeds were white should have went a little longer. Wait next time until the little curly Q by the Watermelon has curled up turned brown and fall off
That's nice, you grew a huge one
How much time did it took to make fruit
Good job. Thanks for sharing
What type of watermelon is this?
How long did it take to get to that size
Can someone explain why is he brushing the flower?
What do tickling the flower do ? **Laughing but very serious **
Inspirational ideas
I grew watermelon as you said.but after pollinating all the flowers fallen down.
Amazing 👍
Congratulation Sir ...
I saw a video here on CZcams where someone said one single watermelon plant requires 5ft x 20ft of space, is that true?
I wanted to grow some, but if thats the case I definitely don’t have the space because I have other fruits and vegetables growing.
I maybe have like another 4ft x 5ft of space left and I am trying to figure out what to put there
Put a watermelon plant,in the space, you still have time you can trellis up for space
Good job 👍
u can ask for advice to mr. cazzarella, search yt ^^
Besters gardener men ..
Wow
@enviiuk please respond but how do u build the planter cuz i really am looking forward to make one in the future and amazing job!

❤️
Beautiful ❤
Beautiful ❤️
수박씨😊😊심었는데 나두 예전에 따보기도 했죠 사이즈가 작아 😊
❤🍉❤
Good🍉
Que hermoso su vivero!
Awesome
Wonderfull, i like it
Well that wasnt ripe at all.
People who are salivating rn
👇
I've planted outside up in scotland: should I cover it? Will it even grow: got few seedlings growing inside too excited to get one: do u need to hand pollinate all watermelon? I've got the medium size one so smaller? Just experimenting sunflowers coming along nicely mostly doing for my birds so always got lettuce romaine is pretty easy to grow although not sure if need to cover that with tunnel too
what fertilizer

Nice
Very nice video
Pra que limpar a flor não entendi queria muito plantar.
Good❤
Infinite plant glitch
Fajnie 🎉 tak dalej 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Not enough sun
That's a small bad watermelon. You can tell by the sound it made when opened and of course the very pale colour. Watermelons need tons of sun and there will never be enough in that forsaken isle.
Congratulations
You keep it on the vine until the vine is dying.
inside noo good
Surely it wasn't as good as I have
👍
It went well
It’s not ripe enough but good attempt tho.
K E L E K 😂😂
Not red not sweet. Treat soil maybe add bone meal, blood meal,???
Just more sunlight actually. When they're about to start riping you want to water them less and give them more direct sunlight
Nice.
But over ripe by Mississippi standards.
I know who knew Mississippi had standards.
You did everything wrong lol. Your watermelon will reflect its environment.
Wait a little longer it will pay off better taste and bigger melon
