how do I buy a seedless grape and seedless watermelon plant? and How often do I have to water these plants?

Answer 1

Hi

I've never seen watermellon sold as plants - you usually start them from seeds. You can buy seedless watermellon seeds from Burpee (www.burpee.com) or any other place that sells seeds - mail order, online, or in store if the stores in your area are still selling them.

You need to buy a seedless grape vine. You can find them at Lowes / Home Depot / Walmart - but usually just in the spring. You can also try some mail order companies - www.starkbros.com has very good quality and a 1 year guarantee. A company called Burgess has very cheap (price and quality) plants - and a one year guarantee as well.

You will only need to water the grape vine for the first season if there are dry spells. After that it gets some big roots and I never water mine.

I water watermellon plants when they are small and if it gets very hot and the leaves wilt.

Good luck,

They're not really seedless. There are just very few and small seeds. You could buy the fruit at the store and save the seeds and plant them. The grapes need less water and watermelon needs more.

For more specific instructions, search the web for university horticultural sites, for your local agricultural agent's site, for 'plant answers', and for 'how to grow seedless watermelon seeds', and so on.

Good luck.

I prefer mail/ online ordering. Better selection of varieties and usually better quality plants. Many companies to choose from. I recommend Gurney's Stark and Park. Grapes weekly the first year, watermelons the soil should always be moist about 1-2 inches below the surface.
