Reshape your watermelons grown at home. It is fun to change the shape of your watermelon and watch it grow into a square or some other shape of your choosing. And imagine how much more fun it is to turn up to a party with a square watermelon for the watermelon punch!
1. Choose a box that is about the size that you want your mature watermelon to be, since it will shape itself to the container.
2. Take an immature (newly sprouted) watermelon. Handle the fruit and vines very carefully. Vine plants hate to be moved.
3. Place the box with at least one removable side around the watermelon. Naturally most boxes are square but you can tailor the shape to suit your wishes if need be. Fill in with soil and gently pat the plant into position. Add compost and mulch as required.
Water the watermelon as usual. Make sure it is getting adequate light. 4. The watering process will probably damage the box, so be prepared to replace it as the watermelon grows. Perhaps have some in reserve and ready to go.
5. Harvest. When the shape is how you want it and the fruit is ripe, it is time for harvesting. Take it along to a special occasion and wow everyone with your square watermelon!
