Today I share a video of how I graft watermelon to gourd and squash rootstock for improved disease resistance. A healthier plant equals healthier fruit.

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Grafting Watermelon

03/23/2026

I saw a post on Reddit, this lady had found an old pepper tin in a roll top desk she was restoring. Inside that pepper tin, was a man’s watermelon seeds from 1870. Naturally, I had to get in contact and take my shot at reviving this old watermelon. Nobody knows what it is for sure. Every attempt at growing these was failed, she sent seeds all over the world to people requesting them, and all she asked was that people let her know their results, good or bad, and not one person kept good on their end of the deal. So, initially when I inquired about the seeds, she said no. She just wants to keep what’s left of them.

I sent photos of my watermelon, and reassured her that I would try darnedest to grow them, and that I would keep good on my end. She said maybe. A few days ago, I checked my Reddit inbox, and she said that she went to post office and sent them out. They came today. While the possibility of these growing is very close to zero, there is always that chance. Scientist have sprouted seeds from caves from thousands of years ago. So, I’m going to give it a shot. I received 20 seeds, which means I have 20 tries. This will be a neat project, and extraordinary if one grows.

*Photos are from another page where she went into some detail about the restoration project.

I have some rootstock ready to have watermelon grafted this Friday. My brother Terry is going to come over and record. I’ll be live on YouTube, but also we would like to invite you guys to join Terry’s community on Skool where we will also be live. Here’s the link to his community. Be ready around 1:00 PM on Friday, or watch later. I hope to see you on the live feed.

Not this coming weekend, but next weekend, whether Friday or Saturday, I should be able to make a grafting video. I might go live and do it. I think that could be fun. Also, after the video, I’ll discuss a few pointers for when to start your rootstock seeds, how long afterward should you start your watermelon (scion) seeds, and when to graft. Why do we graft, is it necessary? The tools you need to graft. What to use for your healing chamber, and the timing for healing your grafted watermelon. The grafting itself is only part of the equation, you also need to let them heal, and I’ll go over that whole process. It’s easy once you’ve done a couple of times, but I can see how it might be intimating the first time or two. I’ll do my best to help ease some of that. I’ll try to give a couple of hours of notice before I set up for live, so you know a little ahead of time. It might have to be on YouTube. I think you need a hundred followers here and even more on TikTok. Which is fine to me, I like YouTube more myself. Anyway, I can always post a video if I can’t figure out the “Live” feature.
