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.
