Some summer residents believe that our climate conditions are not suitable for growing juicy, red, tasty and large watermelons.
But this belief is contradicted by the positive experience of other people: spectacular watermelons are still found in our latitudes.
In order to grow large and sweet watermelons, expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", landscape designer and scientist-agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh advises paying attention to special rules.
What do they consist of?
Pinching out stepsons
Surely many have been tempted to leave all the vines that have appeared on the watermelons. But it is worth understanding that the plant will simply not be able to "feed" itself.
If there are a lot of vines, the lack of sufficient sun will be extremely critical. You will also have to use a considerable amount of water and fertilizer.
Therefore, try to leave no more than three lashes.
Ovaries
As in the previous case, a large number of ovaries does not guarantee an abundance of harvest. The watermelon will not be able to provide adequate nutrition to all its ovaries.
Therefore, we leave no more than three ovaries on each whip.
Nutrients
If you want to get a truly decent harvest of watermelons, then start preparing the soil in the fall.
But after planting, it is worth focusing on nitrogen compounds.
