What can i do to get my watermelon from going out of control?

Question

my watermelon is growing out of control what do i do. this is my first time planting them

Answer 1

If by "out of control" you mean vines that seem to take over everything, that is what watermelon does. Watermelon needs a large area to grow. You should give about 10 feet between your watermelon and other vegetables in order for them not to be overtaken. Next year, you may want to try a variety that is considered a "bush" type. It still requires some growing area, but not nearly as much as say, the Charleston variety.

Answer 2

Set a record for biggest watermelon EVER.

Answer 3

try pumpkins too
