Answer 1

they have 2 grow in realy hot places, and must have a lot of water - they may not grow depending on where u live

Answer 2

There are quite a few virus and fungus caused blights and rots that watermelons are susceptible to.  Do the plants themselves appear normal?  Cold weather could be a factor.  Take a sample to your garden store or nursery and maybe they can help out.
