Watermelon plants

I planted watermelon (from starter plant) in early May. The plant has many blossums and is covering a 3x8 foot area of the garden. I HAVE NO FRUIT. Am I being inpatient or do I need to wait for a while. The plant looks very green and healthy. What’s going on???

Answer #1

You probably just need to wait longer. Feed the watermelons as said in the mean time for more fruit later.

Answer #2

The female (larger) flowers will turn into fruit. You should start to see something like a small fruit at the base of the flower… if the insects are pollinating it for you.

Watermelons need a lot of nutrients. They love manure, compost, any organic fertilizer.

Answer #3

It’s fine. Maybe a little late, but still fine. Make sure you give it lots of water.
