How do I go about growing watermelon in a pot?

Answer by  worker2973 (16)

Watermelons need to be started from seeds indoors, in peat pots. They will require a lot of sun. When they're ready, they should be transplated to a large pot (12inch), one plant per pot. Watermelon vines will require a lot of support. The soil should be kept moist.

Select a midget variety that will grow less than 10lbs on the vine, like Sugar Baby or Moonbeam. You can do this using a STRONG trellis, which can be quite attractive too. You will want a container that will hold about 10 gallons of soil, with a reservoir that will take about a gallon of water underneath.

After you put the soil in the pot I would plant the seed. Put it outside and water it every few days, then when large enough, plant in the ground.

Place a pot in full sun. Watermelon will needs rich manure compost. We can use 12 inch pot to start with. If vines of plant is large transfer to 24inch.
