How long will it be before I see watermelons? I planted my plants in May and they seem to be growing all over the place with flowers and all and bees a buzzin' but no melons yet.
Here's a pik of them. Anyone?
How long before I see watermelons?
Male flowers appearst sometimes two week ahead of the females. If you have flowers watermelons should soon appear. If you are watering them, slow down, They don't need a lot of water and it will retard fruiting.
Thank you Farmerdill....so how often should I water them?
Personally, I almost never add water to watermelon. Yours seem to have been planted in the ground rather than containers, so unless you are in a prolonged drought, let natural rainfall do the watering.

WOW!!! I'm jealous of the space and the melons!
ooops, what happens if i overwater now & then?
