I think my plants are way behind everyone else's. My better plant is only about a foot to a foot and a half long. Sometimes I'm bad at guesstimating length, but I'm pretty sure it has three developing males on the single vine. About When should I expect the first female?

It's about 60 days until the Watermelon Carnival. I'm concerned I won't have anything by then.

Sounds like you are way behind if your goal is 60 days to picking. You probally need at LEAST 20 days or more before the plant can suport a fruit.....so that doesn't leave much time to grow. might try for a later weighoff date.
