My Frist Experience for Growing Watermelon

Has been view weeks I'm pretending too be busy with my vegetable garden but actually I just really enjoyed watching all my vegetable growing and fruiting, very excited until I'm forgot to posting them in this blog :0)

I'm learning alot from my first vegetable gardening experience this year.
Very interesting that finnaly my watermelon vine have a 3 baby watermelons, for beginning I though that the female flowers are a baby watermelon, but after googling for some information about watermelon, finnaly I knew that they only female flowers.









Also I found out that seedless watermelon (Tripoid) plant need cross pollination with seeded watermelon (Diploit), Because triploid melons do not contain developing seed, they require pollen to stimulate fruit growth.

I have my fresh watermelon seeds from seedless watermelon who I bough at grocery store last year, so this seeds are a cross polination from seedless X seeded watermelon.

I'm start seedling on beginning March, direct sowing in the ground, 2 seeds and only 1 seed germinated. And after knew that seedless watermelon need cross polination with seeded watermelon, I dont hv much expectation that this vine will have fruit growth, but glad I found 3 watermelons with softball size growing healty now !

Wish will be more fruits develop.... and I have a BIG curious, they will be a seedless or seeded or in the middle ? The times will answer those question later :0)
