Slow watermelon growth
I am growing Ali Baba watermelon along with Charentais and a casaba melon this year. They are all in the same bed and the growth for all of them is very slow. What might cause this? Soil in the bed has lots of compost, and I mixed crab shells/lots of brown leaves end of last fall. 2 months ago I added lots of Tomato-tone (since this is a relatively cheaper option in terms of fertilizer). Also temperatures have been very good and soil has good drainage.
One note: I have one Ali Baba plant in a pot and that pot also has crab shells + Tomato-tone in it. This plant is growing a lot faster than the Ali Baba in the raised bed.
