how's it going everyone so today I'm gonna be harvesting my single sugar baby
watermelon that is growing on the plant just beside me here and I'm super
excited about this because this is the first ever watermelon harvest that I
have ever done in my life so I am super stoked to finally being
able to harvest my own watermelon so if you want to check out how I planted this
there'll be a link in the YouTube card as well as the description below that
you can check out make sure you do and also if this is your first time here and
how's it going welcome to my small backyard gardening YouTube channel so
here I'm all about trying to help you grow your own organic food for as cheap
as possible and I'm also bringing you along for things like harvesting my own
food that I've grown myself just like this video so make sure you consider
scribing stay updated so we'll head straight to the watermelon plant and
just harvest as well as I'll give you just the real one tip that I know about
when is the right time to harvest your watermelon so here we are at the
watermelon patch and this is my single sugar baby watermelon that has growing
there were also a couple of others like as this one but it is quite shriveled up
and just seems to have lost a lot of moisture inside but this one it
definitely seems ready to pick one indication is that this is going fairly
yellow but another one is the main one is tapping it making sure it sounds
Hollow which don't know if you can really hear that but it does sound
hollow so I really hope that this is right but we'll go ahead and pick it
there we go that is my first watermelon ever that I've picked so let's hope that
it is ripe so we'll cut it open and see if it is right which I reckon it is okay
so I've got my watermelon here so I'm just going to cut it open and see how it
is so I really hope that this is ripe definitely sounds right by the tap has
it really got much bigger the skins really darkened so let's cut it open in
find out moment of truth
there we go so I'd say that's fair there I probably could have been left in there
for a little longer but I reckon it would still taste right so cut a slice
and see how tastes so here we go be my first taste ever of a homegrown
watermelon definitely smells really nice and sweet so I don't see how it goes
that's really nice it's not as sweet so it was probably a little under up maybe
like a week longer but it tastes nearly like the supermarket varieties that you
can get as well sorry nice definitely be saving the seeds from this definitely
playing these again next year
well there you go guys that is my first watermelon harvest ever so I was super
stoked about that I was pretty happy with the one watermelon I got again it
probably could have been left on for another week or two on the vine just to
really get that full sweetness but it did have nice flavor and there was still
a little bit of sweetness so I would say that was a success I was very happy with
it and so I'll be saving the seeds from
that and growing a lot more next year as well as I'll probably be trying in a few
other varieties as well so I pretty much leave it there so if you did like that
