**Growing Watermelons from Supermarket Seeds in Pots: What Happened When I Planted Them**
Watermelon is the ultimate symbol of summer—juicy, sweet, and refreshing. So, when I discovered I could potentially grow watermelons right from the seeds of my favorite supermarket fruit, I was both intrigued and a little skeptical. Could those tiny seeds really sprout, thrive, and maybe even bear fruit? And could I do it in pots, without a sprawling garden?
I decided to find out.
### The Experiment Begins: From Seed to Sprout
I started by carefully extracting seeds from a ripe, delicious watermelon purchased at the local market. After cleaning and drying them for a few days, I planted the seeds in large pots filled with rich, well-draining potting mix. I made sure the pots had plenty of drainage holes and were placed in a sunny spot, as watermelon loves warmth and light.
### Growth, Challenges, and Surprises
The first week was filled with anticipation. Soon enough, tiny green shoots began to emerge—proof that supermarket seeds can definitely germinate. I nurtured them diligently, watering regularly and ensuring they had enough sun. But growing watermelons in pots isn’t without its challenges:
* **Space:** Watermelon vines can spread wide, and pots limit their room to grow.
* **Nutrients:** Watermelons are heavy feeders, so regular fertilizing was a must.
* **Pollination:** Without bees or insects around (or with limited access in pots), hand pollination helped encourage fruit set.
### The Fruits of Patience
After a couple of months, little watermelon fruits began to develop. They were smaller than the supermarket giants, but perfectly formed and promisingly sweet-smelling. The vines produced beautiful yellow flowers, a sure sign that the plants were thriving.
