Am I supposed to only have a few watermelons per vine? Should I be pinching some off? (I always feel bad when I do that!)

Thanks in advance for your replies...

Many folks remove all but 2 mellons from the vines. I was told (by a gardening catalog) that sugar babies normally only set 2 (or so) fruits. LOL. Wonder where they go that idea from as that wasn't my experience with them and doesn't appear to be yours either..

Thanks :)

I am a novice at gardening, this is my first year and I am truly loving the outcome. I have tomatoes and cucumbers and wanted to try watermelon. I got the seeds from a mail order company a few days ago that are suppose to send when it is right for planting. Is it to late to sart them? They are sugarbaby watermelons
