idk why but the way you spoke about taking some of the melons to let that one melon thrive made me think of that old song "Gathering Flowers for the Master's Bouquet" for some reason 😅.
I really enjoy your videos. So blessed by your desire for Christ. Blessings on your journey!
@toddgervais2792, so glad you enjoyed the videos!!! Thanks for the encouragement, and likewise, God bless you as you run this race!
You're so wise in your young years and that's great to see! You love Christ and gardening. That's my kinda guy! Thanks for sharing your tips! 😊
Thanks for the encouragement! All glory to Jesus. :)
I want to just listen to Josiah talk. You're so calm.
There's a wonderful peace that comes when you surrender everything to Jesus and trust Him. I have experienced that constantly, but it's a gift everyone can have! :) God bless you! Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have PEACE with God through our Lord Jesus Christ Romans 5:1 Let the PEACE of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Colossians 3:15
Christ saved my life last year! I gave myself to Him soon after. Jesus is LORD!!!
Yay!!!! Glory to God!!!
Wow! Maybe it happened so that you would be saved!

Thanks!!! Welcome to the channel!
Hi can you post a video how to grow them this big and did you use in organic fertilizers.
I would like to grow another giant melon this year, so hopefully I'll get another video where I can explain more. :) Thanks for asking, @deepanraj!
@deepanrajj8218, I did a couple videos this summer showing how to grow the Giants. They're on a channel called "Creation Gardener." Hope they're helpful. :) One of the melons hit 170lbs this year!
great video! one question tho..are these kind of giant watermelon varieties are only for size and competitive growing or do they taste good too like regular melons..also what is the variety name
Thanks @Gaurav! The dark melons were 'Jumbo Black Diamond' melons but the bigger one at the end of the video was a 'Carolina Cross.' They are special varieties for size, however they have been good eating every time as well! :) God Bless you!
@@bearingmuchfruit4jesusis this true that if we grow cucumbers along with watermelons side by side in the same soil then harvested watermelons fruits also tastes like cucumbers.? is this true or not.?
@@InnerLifePhotography No, I don't think that is true. Cucumbers won't affect watermelons at all. :)
@@bearingmuchfruit4jesus uh thank god. I actually sowed seeds like this in my home soil as well so worried about this issue
@@InnerLifePhotography Yeah, nothing to worry about! God bless, hope you have a great season. :)
That is awesome, thank you for sharing!
I love growing watermelons! My wife and I have a farm and I am so excited for spring. Does anyone know if doing too many varieties is a bad idea? I have 40 varieties of seeds. Last year I did 5 varieties. Is 20 too much for the season? God Bless you all! Holy spirit does call us to give things up for him. Its soo worth it. What you said at the end of the video blew me away. God wanted me to see this video. Wow…
@T Dubbs, your message was a big blessing to me this morning. So cool to hear a testimony of another gardener who loves Jesus. :) Thanks so much! As far as melon varieties, there really is no limit on how many varieties you can grow. The only thing it will affect is the seeds in those melons. (if you plan on saving them.) I would say, go for it and have fun. :) God bless you!
That is awesome! I am definitely going to do alot of different varieties now from what you said. After watching your video I am going to try to do a few real large watermelons this year. Is there any seed you recommend for beginners? My wife and I will be doing farm ministry this year and ministry through farming. We are super excited! Have a blessed day!
Yay, that's exciting that you're going to try some big melons!! I would definitely recommend the 'Carolina Cross' variety if you're going for size. Just about all of the competitive growers are using that seed. You can find seed on websites like Burpees.com. If you're looking for 'Carolina Cross' seed with more potential, the best thing is to find a competitive grower and ask if they would share some seed. Many growers are very kind and happy to share seeds. :) I'm sure there are groups on facebook and other places where competitive growers connect. That's awesome that you and your wife are doing some farm ministry! I've often thought of how powerful that could be. There's so many ways to share the Gospel through gardening. I personally got in a relationship with Jesus through gardening analogies, so that's very neat to hear! God bless you guys, and keep running the race! One day closer to His glorious return and Kingdom. :)
wow man, that is amazing. I am actually trasiontiong everything. I am on the hunt for growing all things old world seed. time period I am searching for is 1800 to 1816 around the time of my home state Indiana state hood. Of Course I won't turn anything away from the 1700s lol. This includes all melons. From here on out though I want to get away from all GMO, and help preserve our past, and get back to true Native plants. Apple trees included.
Hi, which variety of watermelon . U keep any seeds?
The dark melons were 'Jumbo Black Diamond' melons but the bigger one at the end of the video was a 'Carolina Cross.'
What do you put in the soil? Great work 👏👏
This is just a permanent woodchip mulch. I started with 1 foot of raw chips. It broke down into the nicest compost. I did use a bit of 10-10-10 fertilizer but mostly just the woodchip compost and lots of water!
@@bearingmuchfruit4jesus ok great! Compost is the best organic soil i think. You use any calcium fertilizer?
@@exercise._.everyday. Nope. Most of the time it's actually just compost. Really I only water and use fertilizer if I'm growing the competitive melons because I want extra size. I just harvested some Crimson Sweet melons from my no-till patch today that were ginormous. And I wasn't watering or fertilizing them, just letting them sit there. ;) Do you garden no-till?
@@bearingmuchfruit4jesus maybe soil is so rich it doesn't need. But great tactic for massive watermelons
Beautiful big field nice big melon i seen your full video❤
Thanks!
What is the variety name of this watermelon?
‘Jumbo Black Diamond’, and ‘Carolina Cross.’
What seeds do I need to buy ? Can you provide a link ?
I'd start with 'Carolina Cross' seeds from Burpees. :)
❤❤❤
Never seen a cow run so fast ha,, what area u growing.. Could I grow these in North England. Cheers
Haha!!! They do love melons. :) These are 'Jumbo Black Diamond' and 'Carolina Cross' Giant melons. I believe melons can grow well in your area!
@@bearingmuchfruit4jesus thanks 👍
Why didnt u filming opening tem?
Great question! I brought them to big gatherings of friends, and honestly just forgot to film. They tasted delicious, though!
@@bearingmuchfruit4jesus glad to hear that
where I can buy the seed ?
Many seed companies sell the 'Carolina Cross' variety. I know burpee seeds has them, and I'm sure other companies as well.

I love Jesus Christ... but lately I'm trying to not just work for him but to as well walk & work him him. Thank You for sharing this ❤❤❤🇳🇬
That's so great! Thank you for sharing. Keep it up, and God bless you. :D John 12:26 "If anyone serves me, he must follow me; and where I am, there will my servant be also. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him."
@@bearingmuchfruit4jesus Yes! 💯 sorry I meant as well walk & work WITH Him.
God Bless You !
And you as well!! :)
Big man , how do you do that, can i have the magic.
It's all in the seed/genetics, and careful care. Choose 1 melon for the plant, and keep feeding it! :)
are these edible?
Totally!!
I get the energy part of it but the real question is. How much do you water the melon?
Yeah great question!! The more the better. The melons in this video I actually wasn’t watering that much. Maybe a 5-gallon bucket every 3 days or so. This year I really picked up and gave that much daily, and got a 171 pounder! The more the better. :)
@@bearingmuchfruit4jesus sounds good. I have never really known how much water to give to them which has been my down fall.
@@bearingmuchfruit4jesus*HI JOSIAH. DO YOU GET AWARDS OR PAID FOR THESE GOLIATHS😮😮? ALSO ALWAYS HAVE SOMEONE HELP YOU OR UTILIZE A PULLEY DEVICE . HERNIAS ARE NO JOKE AND KEEP YOUR BACK STRONG AND SKELETON ALIGNED. I KNOW FROM EXPERIENCE* *YOU ARE VERY INSPIRATIONAL*
@@DiamondRubyJewel thank you!!! :)
@bearingmuchfruit4jesus *YOU'RE WELCOME*
I love you bro
Where i can get seed ?reply you got my message
Many seed companies sell the 'Carolina Cross' variety. I know burpeeseeds.com has them, and I'm sure other companies as well. 😊
So sad. But the cows are happy.
Yes, they enjoyed it!!! :)
👌👌👌🙏🙏🙏👍👍💯💯💯
You seem to be a smart hardworking kid. What do you know and what do you think about the Atheists?
Good question! I've met quite a few atheists. :) I like to tell them that they have a lot more faith than me. It takes a LOT of faith to believe the scientific impossibility that everything created itself from nothing! I like to share with them proof of God, which is actually really simple! When we look at a building, we KNOW there was a builder. The building is proof. It's the same with a painting. You don't have to meet the painter to know he's real. Also, if you see 20 cans in order on a sidewalk, that's proof that there was an orderer. A design (like a watch) is proof of a designer... I think you can see where I'm going with all of this. :) We look around at the earth and see the beautiful art of a sunset. That's proof of an artist. The order of kernels on a corn cob proves an orderer. The wonderful design of the human eye proves a designer... So the breathtaking creation I can see all around me every day tells me there is a breathtaking CREATOR! :) And if He created US, that must mean He loves us and has a story full of hope we can be a part of. I don't get angry at atheists, I love them and help them to see the exciting news of God's love for them! Thanks for the question! What do you think about atheism?
You remind me of CARLO ACUTIS
🇭🇷
WOW! Thank you young man so much for being a lover of Jesus Christ in this world that is so full of chaos and confusion. Everything we do in life points to Him and you demonstrate it so beautifully in what you do. May God continually keep you and your family and guide you, bless you and order your every step till we see Jesus face to face. Me and my house love Jesus, Yeshua Hamashiach too.
Yay!!! Thank you so much for the encouragement!! :) Let’s keep running the race until He returns. Jesus is beautiful!!! One day closer. 😃 God bless!!
