Now they are rotting. Could this be end rot?

How can I help them get pollinated? Is there a way to hand pollinate?

Hi, I am having a very irritating issue with watermelons. What's is that all of the young watermelons are shriveling up and discoloring. I have no idea if what is. Also the watermelon has ZERO flowers on it. Any that try to come out just turn black.We also live in dickson, so we have not been getting rain for a month. They are getting watered 15 minutes each morning though. I just really want to grow watermelons! I have no clue what I'm doing wrong! Please help!

Except the second picture is a healthy watermelon

Is there any way to fix the watermelons from aborting? Because all of the younger watermelons shriveled up and died.

I live in middle Tennessee so we have been getting some rain. There is a lot of flowers and there are one or two healthy watermelons growing. It is cery possible that they are aborting.

I need some help with my crimson sweet watermelons. The some of the growing watermelons are drying up and discoloring.
