How to Grow Healthy Watermelons

[@th71-23]

well I'm about to find out with some of your crimson sweet seeds and your athena cantaloupe too

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Sounds good!

[@GardenersPOV]

Thanks Greg. I planted Tailgate, Yellow Doll, and Sangria (all Hoss seeds!) and all transplants look great despite 7.4" inches of rain in 3 hours about 10 days ago. We're using weed barrier, too. I thought they'd be goners after that storm, but no problems so far!

[@gardeningwithhoss]

good to hear.

[@hazelbellefarm476]

As a kid in the 80s/90s, when there were no seedless melons sold, we “planted” watermelons every year by spitting seeds off the porch, into the sugar sand. We took zero care of those plants and they grew us lazy gardens filled with melons every year. As an adult, experienced gardener, I can’t grow a melon to save my life.

Another excellent video full of knowledge thanks, Greg

[@SimplyBackwoods]

Thank you for such helpful information. I appreciate the schedule you stick to in keeping the plants covered in regard to diseases and then feeding them nutrients. It's been super wet here but can't really put anything outside yet anyhow but going to remember what you've shared.

[@jameshsmith9576]

I had the same thing happen 5 inch rain then another 2.75 day before yesterday

[@zombiefulci3301]

So many problems but the sublime experience of ice cold watermelon 🍉 in the Florida summer furnace is so worth it Mr. Hoss aka Mr. Majestyk 🍉🍉😂😂

[@joelhenderson5404]

Boy Greg your sure have a lot of stuff happening there is Georgia. I don't have that problem here Oklahoma. I know your using the fabric for weed control. I use wheat straw on my water melons and cantilope. It basically does the same thing as the fabric with three fold for me. Weed control plus holding monster plus at the end of the season its good for the soil as organic material.

[@alexjones519]

This was a timely video. We are having the same issues.

[@renatoramacola7966]

Appriciate the info ......God Bless 🙏🏻🙏🏻🇧🇸

[@CB-shellcracker]

Hey Greg....excellent first of its kind video and much appreciated. If you could only afford one the three disease treatment products which one would you chose the Liquid Cooper, The Garden Phos or the Vegetable, Flower, Fruit and Ornamental Fungicide?

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Fruit Ornamental

[@drbecktex]

Y'all must have got that rain we had too. We dodged a bullet. I dumped out an inch today from last night.

[@ChristinesBackyardGarden]

Thanks for the info. Is Southern AG Liquid Copper Fungicide the same as the Liquid COP you mentioned?

[@gardeningwithhoss]

I believe so

[@misstlc7136]

Hey boss man!! I might need to grow me a few watermelons...ya think I can put them in a grow bag and run across the yard???

[@jtharp9265]

I do , I grow several seeds in each 10 gallon grow bags , on my deck and then let the vines grow over the deck , as watermelons begin ( I buy the smaller sugar baby kind that get between 6-9 pounds ) I put them in a panty hose swing or any elastic to hold them up from ground . Then I feed into the grow bag & water and have done great for past 5 yrs .... Cantaloupe I have in ground but I still put them in pantyhose to hold them off ground , wrapped/ tied to 2 posts. Good luck. Mrs j Montgomery County, Texas 🙏

ED, the speckled leaves in disease pictures look like my moon, star melons which is natural i think. first year moon/star.

[@zoeyshoots]

Using any systemic chemical on edible crops,, still gives me the willies!! 😂

[@joshward9835]

That plan work for all veggies?

[@GeauxSowGrow]

I know you adivse 1 then 1 then 1 but can you use these together in cases where your plants just get ate up or do they have to be used seperatley

[@Big88Country]

Which product do you recommend to spray on just about all of your garden veggies. I'm like the average home gardner, I have squash, cucumbers, tomatoes, okra, beans, and melons, water and Cantaloupe. Would garden phos be something I could use on all of these? Really appreciate you making these informative videos. I also get most of my seeds from you guys, and have never been disappointed. We are here on the coast of NC. Thank you!

[@gardeningwithhoss]

[@Big88Country]

@@gardeningwithhoss Thank you very much, gonna try it! Hope you guys have a very prosperous season!!

[@Big88Country]

Just ordered the Garden Foss, Hi-Yield, and the 20-20-20. I got started late on the melons but they are doing great and starting to put on runners. Thank you guys for taking the time out of your busy schedules to educate us home gardeners!!

[@chriswinger7881]

Do those decease containers come in smaller quantities. I don't need that much.

[@gardeningwithhoss]

quarts are the smallest quantity we have. They do store well in the proper environment.

[@jhorsch94]

What’s the spacing of those watermelon plants within the rows and between the rows?

[@gardeningwithhoss]

2 ft x 4ft

[@traviswoodruff8034]

Dose it hurt the bees

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Always spray late in the afternoon when bees are not active

[@cindyeastbourn7642]

But you are touching the infected pathogen leaf then the good leaves.

[@tambrasmith9707]

Are you having any problems with ants getting under your lazy garden? I have ants under mine , I dug my taters early because I was afraid the ants were gonna get in them

[@tambrasmith9707]

I have the best onions that I’ve ever had growing in 2 of the long slits , my other onions are not near as big as they are and I didn’t cover those in lazy garden when it got down to 15 degrees. Next year there will be a lot more onions planted there.. and the taters did pretty good, even though I dug them early

[@gardeningwithhoss]

No, we have not had that issue

[@tambrasmith9707]

I just planted sum Cherokee tan pumpkin plants and a couple of watermelon plants in it … we will see .. the ants are in the slits that I don’t have anything planted in

[@PeaceLoveandPrepping]

Not much about How To Grow Watermelon. Just Hoss products commercial.

[@gardeningwithhoss]

We are a ecommerce company.

[@earthsystem]

Yikes! It's terrifying how susceptible watermelons are to disease, I think I'll just sidestep them for the rest of my life

[@MrSmirkster]

That's Quite The MAGA Wall Love It
