| I have crimson red watermelons planted. The vines have grown great but now they are turning a little yellowish. Scary. Also, I have noticed that the little melons when about a inch long have started turning black and dying. I have also had my melons grow to a decent size and then the opposite end of the melon from the vine would turn black. What is going on. Help. Thanks............... |

| Sounds like lack of pollination + blossom end rot for the fruit problems. The yellow leaves could mean a number of things (over watering, under watering, disease, insect pests, lack of nutrients, etc). Melons need good fertile soil and a soil pH ~6.5. |
