Properly grown, vertical watermelons are a sight to behold. These fruits can get quite heavy and usually don't grow vertically without some support. I used old bird netting, but you can also use pantyhose, tea towels, cheesecloth, and similar materials for support. All you need to get started is a T post and a cattle panel arch trellis. Thread the early vines up the trellis, and the tendrils will take care of the rest. 🍉 | Epic Gardening

Epic Gardening (@epicgardening) - This is my 1/3 acre suburban homestead which I built to see how far you can take sustainability in a normal home. Automatic garden watering? Check. Chickens for eggs and fertilizer? Yup. Solar everything? You know it. It took me five years to figure this out. Want to learn it quicker? Look up ‘Epic Homesteading’ wherever you buy books. 📚

If you're behind on starting seeds, this tip MAY help you. It's saved Kevin's watermelons, melons, and luffa planting in the past. For seeds to sprout, water needs to get into the seed hull and trigger the germination process. With large, thick seeds, that can take some time! By taking small snips (we love the Felco 322's on our store) and making a TINY cut at the very edge of a seed, you'll allow water inside quicker. You might be surprised to find your seeds sprouting twice as fast! Note: This

Timing your watermelon harvest is everything. Unlike other fruits that keep ripening after you pick them, watermelons are done developing the moment they leave the vine. So you’ve got to read the plant’s signals like a pro. The easiest tell? Check out that little curly tendril closest to your melon. When your watermelon is still growing, that tendril stays green and healthy, pumping water and nutrients to the fruit. But once your melon hits peak ripeness, that same tendril dries up and turns bro

Watermelon WIN! 🤯 This Charleston Gray from @botanicalinterests is bigger than my head. Juicy, sweet, and field-warm perfection — this was totally worth the wait. Want to grow your own giant? 🍉 Give yourself lots of time - Charleston Gray takes 85-100 warm days to mature! 🍉 Don’t try to harvest early; watermelons don’t ripen after harvest. 🍉 Watch for signs like browned tendrils and a nice field spot to indicate readiness. 🍉 Pick it up & give it a thump! Ripe watermelons have a deep, hollow

Building a modern suburban homestead can take many forms - you can do it for nearly $0 like Jacques did, you can splurge on some key features you LOVE like I (Kevin) did with my pond and chicken coop, or you can slowly inch your way towards your sustainability goals over the years. All are valid! When I first moved into this home, it was a bare lot - a thin layer of woodchips strewn over a sod-scraped 1/3 of an acre. Slowly, I added systems to help me transform the landscape - rainwater capture
