Gardening Know How Questions & Answers - https://questions.gardeningknowhow.comMy watermelon plant has vines going everywhere, which will most likely produce a dozen melons! My mom thinks that we should pick off most of the unwanted (watermelon) flowers, because we only want a few watermelons out of this plant. The problem is, I don’t know how to go about this. Can you help at all?

The only blossoms you will need to trim to do this are the female blossoms. Female blossoms will be sitting on a small, immature fruit, while male blossoms will simply be sitting on the stem. Male blossoms will not produce fruit. Select a few female blossoms that you would like to keep (try to keep them spaced out on the plant) and then use a sharp pair of scissors to trim off the rest. Just snip them right behind the immature fruit.
