Anyone here growing watermelon?

I know this is a random topic! I got a watermelon plant and planted it Memorial Day Weekend. Its doing great but its still pretty small - much smaller than my zucchini and winter squash plants now. I'm just trying to figure out what its deal is. I know this summer hasn't been the warmest so I wonder if its just going to take a while? Is the upstate NY area successful at growing watermelons in general? Thanks for any insights.

Re: Anyone here growing watermelon?

  • We planted a few from seeds and they are very small.  Hopefully we will get something by the end of the summer!

  • I inadvertantly grew one out of my compost bin in a prior year.. the vine got pretty long and a melon formed, but then it stopped growing.  I cut it open for fun but it was not developed inside (not ok to eat).  It was pretty small and I'm not sure what I could have done to make it grow better (since it was growing in compost! - and well watered).
  • Just notice it has a few flowers :). Still no boom in its growth but maybe after the flowers are pollinated? I dunno we shall see.
  • yea i started to grow my watermelons in a 5 gallon bucket in mid June I'm experiencing the same thing as you i also wondering if it's normal to be this size compered to my cucumbers ,anyway please provide us with a update I'm kind of curious if something significant grow.

    Do you have any growing tips/recommendations ?
