Hi All,
I'm new to watermelon growing, so I may have done something wrong with my seeds. I have tried 3 times to start these seeds in seed starting soil and nothing came up from two 2025 packets from Menards. The fourth attempt, I tried and they sprouted, but a chipmunk dug up my seeds and left me with nothing but roots. If anyone has some watermelon seeds to share, I would so appreciate. I'm thinking of putting welded wire on the soil and around the site maybe 1/4". Any other ideas would be so helpful. I'm trying to work with young kids this summer to learn gardening in my neighborhood. We're oping to successfully grow this watermelon plant. Thanks in advance for your help!! Julie
