Default Watermelons not working out

zone 13, Phoenix AZ and planted on March 11th... at this point (74 days) the
vines are just 2' long at most, there are blooms on the vines but no fruit.
They get watered twice a week and get direct sunlight from morning to 4PM. I
would expect them to be ripe by 90 days.. What do you think? I still have
time to plant something else there if they aren't going to work out. This is
the second year I've been trying to get them to grow.


Everyone here in SoCal had that exact problem last year. The few that
set fruit had little things no bigger than a baseball. Might be the
odd spring, or lack of it (we had June weather in February, and are
now having February weather, and last year was similar).
