What's going on with my watermelons?

This is my first time growing watermelons.

I have 3 plants growing in one raised bed and two in another. I have 5 good sized watermelons growing (one on each vine).

However, some other smaller melons have started to grow, but seem like they may be rotting on the vine? Is this normal, or should they all be growing the same?

The watermelons that are growing normally haven't grown much in the last couple weeks. They got to the size they're at now relatively quickly and have slowed significantly. I haven't seen any signs of pests or disease, unless this is a sign of disease.

I plan to cut off the ones going bad, but should I be concerned for the rest? Is there anything I can do to get more successful melons?

These are in a spot that gets lots of sun. I've been doing my best not to over or under water.

I added some pictures at the end of the (hopefully) successful melons and how big they are.

These are Blacktail Mountain Watermelons.

Maine, USA.

Red Russian Pomegranate Tree Overwatered?

I believe my red russian pomegranate tree sapling has been overwatered. The leaves are beginning to yellow. It was doing really well, up until the last week or so. I bought it when it was slightly smaller and it has grown a bit. How can I salvage this?

I'm in Maine USA zone 5a if that helps. It will remain in a container.

My seedlings are dying

This is my first time doing a garden or starting seedlings. I started them at the end of April and everything shot up pretty quickly. I've been dampening the soil about every other day/when it dries out. However some of have gone limp or have even started to die. Most of my tomatoes are dying or dead and a couple of my watermelons are looking pretty sad. What could be the cause here? I don't think it over did the watering, but perhaps I have. I have been making sure the soil is dry first though, so I'm not sure if it's a case of over or under watering.

(I just sprayed the soil with water before the pictures)

TIA!
