The first year I planted watermelon I got a vine like 25 feet long and 4 melons that averaged 20 pounds. The next year I didn’t do anything new, got a vine over 30 feet, 1 melon that rotted on the vine.
Really opens the eyes on pollinators. At least with pumpkins if I get up early enough I can manually pollinate.
Missed opportunity to make a bunch of Subnautica puns
