July 14, 2017Q.Cross pollinating watermelons and pumpkins
Is it possible to cross pollinate watermelons and pumpkins?
- Answered by
Downtoearthdigs on
July 14, 2017A.It's possible, because they're both in the cucurbitaceae family (pumpkins and melons). Keep in mind you won't see the effects on this year's fruit (if you're trying to cross-pollinate on purpose), since it only affects the seeds from this year's plant (and so you'll only see the result in next year's fruit if you plant those seeds).
This article talks a bit more about cross-pollination:

What is the insects on the tomatoes as it was the same on the watermelon?

July 18, 2017A.It is difficult to determine what disease or pests your Watermelon plants have suffered from, as it appears the plant has died off.
Earlier signs on the leaves or stems or fruit itself can help you make a more clear determination.

July 23, 2017Q.watering watermelons
Have had a brutal 2 weeks of 90+ to 98 Degree heat with H.I. 110+ here in Northern Mississippi. Have been watering every other day the hill/roots. I used the raised bed method. The vines/leaves are closing up/drying. Melons are hanging on so far. Do I need to water the row itself? Have the drip hose to do this. Or, just keep watering the hill or roots? Thanks in advance.

July 23, 2017A.Water is crucial for your plants. You can dig down into the soil and check how far the moisture is below the surface of soil.
