Hey so i planted watermelon's months ago and no flowers ever set fruit.. patch got all over grown with weeds and watermelons and when i went ot pull everything out i found 2 small melon. Seems really late to me. But on to my question. How can i get more pollinators to my patch and garden? this past spring i had sunflowers and zinnias planted but i never saw any bugs except for those leaf footed bugs.

They have plenty of time to develop. Let em ride.

That’s been a huge focus of mine from the start. Going as far as putting a beehive directly on my property. I don’t know if there’s anything you can do to give instant results. But I’ve found that over time I’ve seen an increase in native pollinators just by having a water source close by, planting for year round flowering, and avoiding synthetic insecticides whenever possible.
