Look, I never intended to grow watermelons. They just appeared, literally!  
I’ve now got 6 growing in this pot and 4 in another. Apparently this is not ideal.

My question is should I size down and is it too late?  
It’s unfortunate that I’ve grown attached, but I want the best for my watermelons.  
Anything helps, thank you!

Are you sure those are watermelons? And I can't tell that there are 6 in this pot. I would just leave them the way they are for now.
