Cueball, try this website www.giantwatermelons.com they have some really great seeds. The Carolina Cross seeds are the ones you want to plant if you want a big one. Try to keep only 1 watermelon per plant, they also send you some tips when you recieve your seeds. I grew a 154 lber this year with very little effort. Good Luck Jeff

so ya think it would be a good idea to build a hot house frame to cover it somthing 5 high by 12x12 ? how big does a single giant water mellon plant get? do i kneed to trim it?

HI cue iam Danny.In the early spring , yes i would cover it. Remember watermelons like the heat, so give it to them. My plants got to be about 15 x 15. Now i only grew a 179 lber but iam still learning.

I have been told not to trim the vines. I think you increase your odds of diease. I also didnt bury the vines.

If you want e-mail me clarkreeb@horizonview.net
I have some of my seeds you can have. Good luck
