Question about Melons !!
My wife and I have purchased about a dozen Watermelons and Cantaloupes and Honeydews so far this year and we have been disappointed every time.
I followed these instructions that I found on the internet but we are still getting unsweet and unripe fruits;
Does anyone know of a better more fool-proof way?
Cantaloupe
Pick cantaloupes that feel heavy for their size, smell fragrant, are well-netted and don't have any sign of a stem (that means they were picked too early).
Honeydew
Pick melons that feel heavy for their size and are well rounded.
Watermelon
Pick watermelons that feel firm and heavy, have a symmetrical pattern and are free of dents or bruises.
The underside of the melon, where it sat on the ground, should be creamy yellow, not pale green or white.
Thanks!!

I asked my wife, who is a bit better at this than I am. Here is her response.
Watermelon, sometimes you can thump them to determine if they are ripe. There should be a dull thud when you hit a watermelon.
I know the webbing trick on canteloupes, but it doesn't always work.
I don't know about honeydews, sorry.

J7wild, this thread is not what I thought it would be.
