When to Harvest Honeydew Melons?

[@84jandrus]

This is the most informative video I have found so far. Thanks.

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

HELLO Judd, Thanks anytime. I really appreciate that.

[@jamespenman1175]

Great video mate, heaps of great information and nice to see you enjoying what you've grown.

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

HEY James!!! I'm glad you like the video. Thanks for watching and for your comment. Yes, eating what I grow is great. IF you are big on rare Heirloom Seeds, I'm releasing a video on what I'm trying in the garden this year in about 5 hours from now. Take care, Mate.

You make a great teacher. So easy to understand and follow. Thanks 🎉

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

HELLO Chris, wow! Thanks, I appreciate that.

You just scooped out $60 worth of seeds if you had to buy them today in seed packets at these inflation prices in stores today 🤣. Everybody should be saving their seeds today and growing from their own saved seeds plus trade them with others.

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

HELLO PD, I sure did scoop them up. Every last one of the seeds. I have to learn how to harvest collard greens seeds and kale. I will look it up and see so I can stop buying those seeds

[@pd8559]

@@GrowSomethingTasty Collards and Kale are real easy leave them in the ground and they eventually flower with a bunch of yellow flowers. The stalks go up high and the seed pods are like clusters of thin green beans. When they dry brown crack them open and a few seeds pop out. There's even people that mixed all their seeds together of every brasicca to mix and hybridize and they are selecting for the tastiest green seed pods and flowers and are eating all that together rather than leaves. After all just eating the florets is just like broccoli and cauliflower which is broccoli that is kept blanched so it no longer has green color in the flower stalk part. All these plants are the same exact plant. Kind of scary when you think on how dependent we have become on just one plant for all these different vegetables.

Thank you! I now realize that it is a little too soon to pick the melons in my garden.

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

HEY, you are welcome! I hope your melons are good.

[@kels3972]

Now I have to grow honeydews next year!!!! Yours look so good!! Thanks for the great tips Mr. Brown!!!! 🤗

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

HEY Kels, yes, those honeydews are good. Anytime, I can't wait until you grow them. The fresh backyard melons are something good. Thanks for watching. I appreciate it.

[@terrancat]

Good timing. I'm Growing this for the first time. First melon I opened up wasn't ripe enough.

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

HEY, Terran Cat, I hope that helps. I pulled them early last year as well. I was right the first time but sad the rest of the time. Let me know how it goes the next time.

[@goldbamboo516]

After so many searches your video explaines this impatient gardeners question.

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

HEY @goldbamboo!!! Thanks, I learned from trial and error. I hope you have a great harvest.

[@carlylabrie652]

Just discovered your channel through this video (was googling when to harvest honeydew). I adore your channel and your personality already! Thank you for being awesome :)

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

HEY Carly!!! Wow, I came up on Google. Thank you so much. I really appreciate your comment. You made my day.

[@inkgeek4706]

Gardening with Bear Brown ... Just found you in my suggested video feed.. watched a couple of your videos and thought I would shoot you a tip to growing bigger sweater melons that you might not know about.. if you take a table spoon and a half of epsom salt ( you know the same stuff you find in the pharmacy ) and mix it with a gallon of water in a pump sprayer.. and then use that as a spray for your leaves on your vine, doing it every two weeks as they grow, it will give them a big boost. here is the logic.. ok so epsom salts are Magnesium sulfide.. when you dissolve it in water it breaks down into its two base components magnesium and sulfur and can be absorbed straight into the leaves.. the magnesium is an essential nutrient that aids in the production of coprophil. more coprophil means greener leaves and more nutrient production to be put into your melon's. the sulfur is a dual purpose nutrient.. it aids in the metabolic processes of the plant.. and also acts to keep them healthy and boost their immune system.. sulfur is a natural antibacterial, anti fungal, and anti mold. think about it.. back before humans discovered antibiotics .. if you got sick, the doctor would prescribe sulfur tablets to get over it.. they still do for people with an antibiotic allergy.. some of the sulfur will absorb directly into the plant.. the left over will stay on the leaves and ward off things like powdery mildew, and funguses that affect many vine plants.. I have done this for years and ever since not had a bit of any mold or fungus problems .. try it for your self by spraying half with, and half without and you will see a noticeable difference in the color and health of your vines.. and a BIG boost to the flavor and sweetness of your fruits..

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

HELLO Inkgeek, thanks for the tip. I will definitely try that, and years ago, I used to use it, but I did not know it did all of that. I appreciate it.

[@inkgeek4706]

@@GrowSomethingTasty just helping out a fellow grower .. good luck man.. and just an fyi.. its good for many different garden plants like tomatoes and most vine plants.. you'll have to look up what all it works good with as there is too many to list ..

[@bsquared9647]

Thank you for this video! I'm patiently watching my honeydew turn yellow, and daily checking for the blossom end to be a little soft. I hope I can enjoy mine as much as you're enjoying yours. :)

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

HEY @bsquared!!! You are welcome, my friend. I know you are ready for it. Yes, those melons are so sweet. You will be tasting them soon. Let me know how it tastes.

[@hjc0706]

Nice video. A couple more days for mine. Can't wait to try mine.

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

HEY, hjc0706!!! Thank you. That is exciting. I have a long time to wait. Let me know how it tastes.

[@FoodTrucksForDummies]

I'm going to wait a few more days after watching your video. Thanks.

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

HEY @FoodTrucksForDummies!!! I hope your melons taste great.

[@summerf3022]

Thank you for this!!! I have five melons on my vines right now that I am leaving out there, this being my first year to grow these, I accidentally harvested the first one WAY too early and it broke my heart 😭 because I was so proud of it but then I cut it open and it wasn’t even edible- visually it was beautiful and it smelled amazing but it was hard as a rock and no sweetness to it whatsoever. So I am leaving the rest on the vines - especially after seeing this! Thank you again!!

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

HELLO summer, I can relate to your experience. I did the same thing last year. I hope you are able to get some ripe ones when you harvest them. Let me know how it goes for you. You got this. Thanks for commenting. It was great hearing from you.

[@terrigould6230]

Just the detailed info I was looking for! Thank you :)

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

HEY Terri!!! You are welcome. I am glad you like the info.

[@MsTwiththeTea1980]

Great video😊thank you for the great detailed explanation. I will try some melons next season

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

HELLO MsTwiththeTea, they are good. I'm glad you are going to try growing them next season. I'm glad you liked the video. Thanks for watching and for your feedback on the video😊

[@wolf3037]

Thank you. I got some honeydew growing right now. I was getting eager to harvest but it looks like i got to wait.

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

HEY Wolf!!! If you think they are ready, try one. I had to do trial and error. Those are some things I noticed when picking. I hope they taste great.

[@jasaraponton6168]

Just came across your video thank you so much for these tips! I haven’t grown my own melons yet, but I purchased a honeydew from the produce market and I don’t know if it is ripe. It has been sitting in my fruit bowl for about a week. Do they ripen off the vine? I may cut it today but I’m super nervous. I usually don’t like honeydew but I went to a smoothie truck years ago and they gave me a piece while waiting in line and it was so sweet like candy so I figured I’ll give it another shot! Again, thank you so so much for this video. Much success!! Loving on you from Philly.!! 😊☀️💜💜

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

HEY, Jasara!!! I have read that once the honeydew melon is picked, it will not ripen anymore. Thanks for your comment! I'm glad you are loving the content from Philly. 🙂

Melons are great when you squeeze a little bit of lemon juice over it. Especially when it very sweet.

[@denisemiller8474]

My seeds from last year on my watermelon and cantaloupe didn’t do well at all . They got fungus really bad and didn’t germinate. I think I’ll be buying fresh next year. I grew yellow flesh watermelon this year from the packet and that was the only thing that did good in my garden. My cantaloupe didn’t even sprout. I laughed when you said your going to tell your family they are bad . 😂😂😂

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

HEY Denise!!! I'm glad your yellow watermelon grew. It sounds like a great plan to get new seeds. 🤣🤣🤣 They did not believe me either. They saw the video.

[@KingJesus41]

Watermelon had to have the first leave closest to the melon dried completely out. I wasted so many melons trying to figure the Watermelon out... cantaloupe are easy... the vine slides right off.

[@GrowSomethingTasty]

Wow, I am sorry to hear you wasted so many melons.

My watermelon is getting a little soft. Should I pull it?

[@GrowSomethingTasty]
