after i ate the water mellons or honeydew mellons, i just spread the seeds on top of the soil. They actually germinated like crazy. but none of them produced any mellons, I wonder if it is because i didn't use any fertilizer? or something else?

also, is it a good idea to spread those seeds on top of soil? or should i just threw those seeds away? i am thinking that even if they don't produce any mellons, their roots can help to loose the soil, attract the earthworms, etc. what do you think?

They need room to grow, if they sprout that's fine, just thin to keep the better looking seedlings. I started mine about a 1/2 deep to germinate. I'm a little surprised they would start on top of the soil.

oh, yea, they are so easy. i don't even have to bury them in the soil. they germinate like weeds.
