Certified ExpertA.Watermelon tend to grow very long and are not suited to growing upside down. You may want to consider growing them up instead if you are looking to save space. This article will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/vegetables/vgen/growing-a-vertical-vegetable-garden.htm

Hendersonville, NCQ.Sugar baby watermelon
When self-pollinating sugar baby watermelon does one need to pollinate every female flower or just a few of them? I am growing them in five gallon buckets and have an unbelievable amount of flowers, but I understand that I should limit the number of watermelons to two or three. I would really appreciate any help or information. Thank you.

July 30, 2020Q.Sugar baby watermelon with small crack
Hello! I grew a couple of sugar baby watermelons, and one of them has a small crack in the rind. It had been really hot here, when it hasn’t been pouring down rain. I’m sure that’s why. It’s not fully cracked to where you could see the red inside, just a shallow crack. I cut the watermelon in half and ate the other half that didn’t have the crack, but I saved the half with the crack in the fridge for now. Is it okay to eat when it has that small crack? Or should I have not eaten any of it? Thank you

Certified ExpertA.I would say that unless you sprayed your plants with something toxic or found critters in the cracks of your melon, it should be fine to eat.
Here's an article that explains why this happens:
