| I've planted Sierra Gold and Hale's Best Jumbo from seeds, in large pots and have them trellised. After just 6 weeks and 1 fertilizer the vines are over 6 feet and I've 1-2 baseball and 3-4 starting melons per plant. What should I do to increase my yield? I've removed dead leaves, but don't know what else... thanks! |

| Pollination is important. If you can attract bees, that will help. Or if you have a lot of patience, you can try hand pollination using a small paintbrush. |
