How can I get watermelons to grow in a pot on my patio?

I can easily get watermelons to grow in my back yard but when planted in a flower pot, they only grow about 2 inches or even die before they reach that height. No melons are produced.

How can I get watermelons to grow in a pot on my patio?
wow that better be a large patio. Watermelons need room to roam, they are large plants (vines). The pot needs to be big enough to hold enough soil to retain water and nutrients to feed an extremely large plant. You can not hang this vine because your melons will be too heavy. So it has to support the fruit. Melons are not really a good choice for a patio plant, why not consider tomato or peppers?
