Yeah, you don't grow watermelons that way. That melon will never get any bigger.

[@momjeansandgardenthings4151]

We shall see...... I've grown all sorts of things that maybe shouldn't have been in containers very successfully ;)

​@@momjeansandgardenthings4151I watch a gardener from S. Cal and she grows EVERYTHING in plastic totes. She grows watermelon in them and they grow to full size every year.

[@peterburkey3740]

That would be a SMALL watermelon.

Sugar baby watermelon is the best option for growing in a container. I used a 20gal grow bag and had a few of them in it and got several good size melons. Then I heavily fertilized with the osmocote flower and vegetable fertilizer that’s a slow release type that wouldn’t burn my plants to keep up with the nutrients they need

[@momjeansandgardenthings4151]

Yes!! I've got friends who grow sugar babies in containers often! This was a seed gift from a friend! I'm excited to see the melon grow

[@randomconsumer510]

Cool.... you grew something you can't even eat for no reason.

[@Sapoguapo]

I mean, you can it just is not ideal Conditions.

[@momjeansandgardenthings4151]

While this may be true, we aren't all on acres, for some a container melon is all that's possible! We have to make due with what we have and just try! Otherwise, we'll all be dependent on the current food industry forever.

[@asmith5799]

That's so cool! Which zone are you in?

[@momjeansandgardenthings4151]

My zone just changed to 8a! I love experimenting with things around the garden! 🥰

[@jonaton202]

Lol it did not grow in the container, it grew outside the container 😅

[@momjeansandgardenthings4151]

This is probably my favorite comment ever! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
