Hi,
I am trying to grow crimson sweet watermelon this year and the plant is growing really slowly. Compared to the pumpkin and cucumber we planted it is really lagging in its growth. We started with only 2 plants and one died and the one that is still hanging in there had some problems with wilting but it pulled through and now its growing ok but really slowly and the stem is still fairly thin.
I am in Northern New Jersey and I started thes plants around the end of may and transplanted them in early june.
I'd appreciate any tips and info on growing watermelons.
Thanks, Steve
