Growing Watermelon And Cantaloupe From Seed

[@eliakimjosephsophia4542]

I put my honey melon seeds directly into potting soil covered and they sprouted

[@LutherRayable]

Thanks for the tips Rob, Your plants are looking good!

[@sunavaira2316]

Where in north Texas I started growing my watermelons and cantaloupes in dfw today. First timer. Hope it goes well.

[@RobBackyardGardenerr]

Su Navaira just north of Dallas.

[@demetriuspowell29]

Start your watermelon seeds in a speedling tray or soil blocks it prevents transplant shock and your plants will form a better root system

[@negaless1144]

One time I mix sand with tabaco and milk added onion milk and a little garlic can u believe I got to grow mushrooms.)

[@youtubesuckss7058]

I'm a terrible gardener but I try, I saw something new growing in the garden and I was wondering if it's from the melon seeds I threw there, it so cool that I can check back with your channel to see how to help it grow and all, thanks for your video.

[@RobBackyardGardenerr]

Thank you very much! I enjoy making the vids and gardening so glad you came by!

[@kenton955]

Thanks a lot got some Sugar Baby watermelon seeds. I hope I get them started great vid

[@sallystephens9657]

going to try this when the weather is warm

[@juguruteacher6204]

I know this is an old video but I really should have done this. Def putting my seeds in a bag with a towel to germinate first next time. I've got the worst luck with watermelon so I'm going to plant triple and cross my fingers.

[@wsmaga]

Very cool video, thanks for sharing.

[@hounaidahfarhat180]

I had success with growing my cantaloupe from seeds in a container

[@deezie78]

Of course I will be trying this now :) They both look amazing deezie

[@RobBackyardGardenerr]

deezie Thank you Deezie!

[@ericstevens9108]

Good stuff

[@michaellovetere8033]

Great tips;...I use coffee filters instead of paper toweling, though. The roots don't bind their way into the paper towels that way and still get enough moisture..just a suggestion................Great video.......try Crimson Sweet variety. they will grow faster than the Charlestons, and you will still get 35-40 Lb. melons.

[@yonnab1]

Good Luck! cant wait to see the updated video!

[@RobBackyardGardenerr]

Kesha B Thanks Kesha!

[@creativegirl793]

Appreciate your work, my cantaloupe plants also grow but they are start shrink from bottom and dies.. What can i do for this kindly reply

[@ltlbnsgarden]

All your seeds are looking really good!! The covered ones look amazing, can't wait to see them out in your garden. TFS :)

[@RobBackyardGardenerr]

Little Bean's Garden Thanks Little Bean! I am super excited about all of them too. 😁

[@DianaLiff1]

What is the 2-cup method? Does the first cup have holes and is inserted to the second one that doesn't for drainage?

[@xgdhdxgdhd7716]

Nice Vid bro i rellly enjoyed it i subcribe and like

[@carlnikolov]

How do you prevent root rot using the paper towel method do you put the seedlings in cold room ?

[@RobBackyardGardenerr]

Carl N no - I air the bag out every day for about 2-3 minutes.

[@XZCEYM]

Hi. Love your Videos! I just wanted to ask do how many times do you water the paper towel? And do you put them in the refrigerator?

[@RobBackyardGardenerr]

Only once in the beginning and I did not place them in the fridge.

[@drunkenhillbilly456]

When you put the seeds in the ziplock bag on a piece of papertowel. Can you leave the bag outside ot do they have to stay inside. It's nice and warm out and no cold snaps left fornthe year.

[@leilagangari2703]

How do you START seeds from the very beginning in the bag with paper towel do you put them in dry or wet?

[@theroxygirl731]

So I'm not an experienced garder. I love in a condo townhouse and have a small garden. Last year I ate the best melon ever and decided to plant all the seeds. I've been weeding my garden and pulling out unknown sprouts and then after working a lot of overtime for 2 weeks realized I have some vines growing where I buried those seeds. So I have no idea what I'm doing. Is every vine coming out of the ground a different plant or are they all connected? Can I move a couple? The area they are in is very small and if each vine coming out of the soil is going to be a different plant they won't have any room to grow? I'd really appreciate any advice. Thank you!

[@RobBackyardGardenerr]

They are individual plants and yes, you can transplant them elsewhere or simply spread them out a few feet apart

[@dumashernandez5125]

How did you make the homemade compost? Link the video if you have one! :)

[@TheBeardedGardener]

Cant wait to see the next update!

[@RobBackyardGardenerr]

TheBearded Gardener Thanks Bearded! I just couldn't wait to get them started... it's about 3-4 weeks too soon, but oh well..

[@joanneorr7060]

I don't know how to tell the differents from watermelon seedling and cantaloup seedling, they might have gotten mixed up. How can I find the difference between them?

[@oldhandsanitizer6990]

You are awesome I liked and subcribed 👍

[@RobBackyardGardenerr]

Thanks Aaron!

[@mikerodriguez8119]

Hi, enjoyed your video. My question is, why do you use a 2 cup method? thanks.

[@kyrabarnes8909]

I'm going to try the ziploc way cause right now I have watermelon seeds germinating in eggshells inside of the egg crate... Im hoping for about 12 sprouts but we shall see...

[@jessicahill1530]

Do you use the paper towel method as soon as you take them out of the melon or do you sit them out to dry?

[@RobBackyardGardenerr]

jessica hill I let them dry out for at least a week.

[@jennifercooley3313]

I put all the seeds in a bowl of water, was told that any seeds that float to the top are not viable, & then I cleaned the few I wanted to plant, 2 seeds a paper towel about 1 inch apart, & keep them damp in the Ziploc, it's been 3 days & they are sprouting 😁

[@kyleemiller2937]

So once you take them out of the watermelon do you clean them or do anything to them or do you just put them in the paper towel and let them germinate

[@RobBackyardGardenerr]

kyle miller I give them a light rinse, sometimes.

[@jennycabello6861]

I’ve been doing the seed germination with watermelon seeds for my plant science class we have to use water and a treatment I picked hydrogen peroxide I’ve Been doing it for 2 weeks already they haven’t germinated and I had to restart my hydrogen peroxide ones because every time I would put it on the seeds they would explode 😪 what do I do? I keep them in patry dishes half open so they can get air and keep them inside BC outside it’s to hot right now

[@abbymoreno2811]

how do you add the cantaloupe seeds in a bag?

[@shiuninsora1788]

So If I cover them with some bag or something will they grow more fast

[@RobBackyardGardenerr]

Shiun'in Sora Mine seemed to grow better in the hot humid conditions of the greenhouse I created with the bag on them.

[@shiuninsora1788]

Rob Backyard Gardenerr I will try that cuz I have some watermelons and cantaloupes plants and some sprouts already and I will cover them with bag to keep the heat inside and see the results thanks for the reply!

[@RobBackyardGardenerr]

Shiun'in Sora Good Luck!

[@negaless1144]

Do u seal it.?

[@sallystephens9657]

how long to geminate a melon seed?????????????????? please help Sally

[@heatherlovesdeuteronomy]

I planted my seeds inside the house in seedling trays, they spouted in 12 hours!

[@valeriesanchez3074]

Ive germinated seeds in only a medicine bottle. Didn't need the paper towel. Let me say, they grew the roots so fast.

[@sufix9542]

From what time you put the seeds in the wet towel ?

[@RobBackyardGardenerr]

From the moment you start them until the green seed leafs come out and the root is at least a few inches.

[@Jelinaken]

What is your 2-cup method? Thanks for answering! I love your videos!

[@RobBackyardGardenerr]

I demonstrate it in my tomato transplant video (uploaded a few weeks ago), but basically I take 2 cups. The inner cup has a hole punched into the bottom of it and it sits inside the other cup. The outer cup acts as the reservoir and the inner cup with the hole drains into the outer cup to allow for good drainage and oxygen in the soil. Hope this helps!

[@davidedmonds7476]

When do I plant outside like how many months old

[@RobBackyardGardenerr]

TheIndoorGardener As soon as your weather is warm enough. You can also plant outside as soon as your zone permits. I waited until about 2 months old but only because I started them too early. They took a little time to adjust but see, to be doing well now. The update is next weekend. Thank you for watching!

[@lotfihomme8608]

thank's from Algéria 😉.

[@RobBackyardGardenerr]

Lotfi Homme Thank you for watching!

[@FruityKitchenOfficial]

Love yr work :D

[@RobBackyardGardenerr]

Fruity Kitchen Thank you!

[@tolotonga69]

Better to dry the seeds then growing like this my ones grew with in 3days

[@tortillabreathjess2868]

How often do you water watermelon seeds in the cup?

[@RobBackyardGardenerr]

They seemed to want water daily - or at least every other day. I just checked the bottom cup and when it was dry, I added water.

[@tortillabreathjess2868]

Rob Backyard Gardenerr thanks for the information!

[@RobBackyardGardenerr]

Anytime! The ones that were in the greenhouse method (ziploc bag over the cup) required less frequent watering since the humidity was higher. Happy growing and good luck!

[@twigfromtheflats5867]

i got watermelon seeds in a paper towel rn and i was wondering how long it took for the roots to start sticking out

[@RobBackyardGardenerr]

GirTheRobot it took mine a few weeks but some took longer. All were pretty much sprouted by weeks 3-4.

[@oo-gg6yo]

What part of texas do you live (city) i livein Dallas

[@RobBackyardGardenerr]

Cookie monster 315 I live in north dallas.

[@oo-gg6yo]

Rob Backyard Gardenerr cool :) i tried this method but with packet seeds and so far the towel method has worked out great, and i am definitely going to try that mini green house method thanks for the videos, but when will you post more ? Thanks again :)

[@shaimaaarabi6440]

And good luck

[@RobBackyardGardenerr]

Thanks and same to you!

[@latoyalynch2214]

Why do you use 2 cups instead of 1???

[@rugilecepkauskaite2569]

I puted my watermelons straight to dirt and now they are growing...

[@sarahennis4497]

What ever came of your plum plants?

[@RobBackyardGardenerr]

Sarah Hodapp They perished shortly after sprouting. I'm planning on restarting the series soon. Sorry for not keeping everyone updated...

[@Boz1211111]

You would get healthier seedlings if you sowed them in a pot, just takes time and its better if you know germination rate. But i would sow it in a pot anyways

[@Boz1211111]

Less stressing on a plant because you dont transplant it that young

[@davidedmonds7476]

When the next update

[@RobBackyardGardenerr]
