Hey guys, i'm new here, and I'm also new to growing things, this is my
first attempt and i'm lost.
Basically, i'm trying to grow a watermelon plant (?) on my windowsil
(for now..) I don't have a greenhouse or any kind of outdoor place to
grow it, apart from a small garden). I started by reading a few guides
on how to plant the seeds and I have some small plants growing now.
Here are some pictures.

(I didn't want to link the actual images in the thread because they're
about 1000x750res)
Im now wondering where to go from here, do I move them to a bigger pot,
to somewhere bigger or will they be fine where they are for now? I've
been watering them about once or twice a week (as I read on a few
guides online).
Thanks for your help in advance.
(by the way, i'm living in north east of england, where at the moment
the temprature is around 17-23°c)

Don't know if you'll get enough sun or heat to expect watermelons.
Are there local farmers who grow them there?
You can cut down the seedlings leaving 2 strongest ones and also move
to a larger pot or into the garden. If nothing else you'll have some
nice looking leaves. |

Im not entirely sure about local farmers, but I think there are, as they sell them on the local market in my town.
if watermelon wasn't a good thing to start on what would you recommend, I would quite like to grow my own veg, not indoors, but maybe in my garden or something, not tomatos though, but maybe some other fruit/veg.
thanks
