Just started 65 mounds. I’m hoping to have 215 more by the weekend. I growing, Royal Goldens, Desert Kings, Orangeglo, Crimson Sweet, Yellow Shipper and Haikaido. I’m using Bat Gauno, Mexican and Seabird Gauno. Do you think I’ll have success. I sold everything to get 8 acres of land. Now I’m broke lol but I’m determined to succeed. I’m going to shoot a vid in the morning. I have to hook up a water pump to a well. thanks

@guidalco Just Google How to grow square watermelons. I have not attempted this procedure but must give it a go next growing season. It is winter time now in New Zealand. Thank you for your interest. Wishing you every success with your new venture. :-))

@zombification123 I lived in an area in New Zealand that had a short growing season and used cloches. Hoops over individual rows with clips to hold vented plastic cover on. This worked very well. Formed a micro climate that rockmelons thrive in. You need to put up wind net also if you get windy weather or your block has no shelter belts. Are you on Skype?

@ALETHEIA8881 Too much water and not enough sun will stunt their growth bigtime. Keep the soil moist and not soaking wet. They need full sun. You can place a sun reflector by your plants for more sun.

@CAllomesonline That’s winter time? Looks so gorgeous. I’m jealous. Thank you for your response. I live in Oregon, USA, and am a total amateur grower. I’ve found it hard to find some helpful step-by-step videos when it comes to growing melons, especially those in containers. My setup is rather second-hand, to be honest. It’s hard to grow when you live in an upstairs balcony and have to use containers. Anyway, best of luck to your endeavors.

@KingKems Thank you for your interest. It is Winter time in New Zealand, so can’t do a physical example on how to grow these beauties. I do another business online now but will grow a few Watermelon for family and friends this growing season. Then I can do a video for you so you to can learn how to grow the beautiful watermelon plant. All the best, Colin N Z
