  • There is an art to picking a watermelon. I am going to tell you 3 tips to pick a perfectly ripe watermelon, so you can pick a ripe and sweet watermelon every single time. The tips include color, sound, stem condition, and give to the skin of the watermelon. Watermelons do not ripen after they are picked so it is crucial to pick a watermelon that ripened on the vine. A ripe watermelon means it is sweet and filled with water.

    Thank you so much for your tips. I'm 44yrs old and never knew how to pick a ripe one. But now i do so i will definitely pick my first watermelon this summer.

    I've never been able to tell one thump sound from another. I always go by the big yellow spot. I didn't know about the stem, either. Thank you for this. With summer coming on, it's a timely instruction.

    Thanks, Jag. My dad taught me the first tip (thumping on the watermelon by 'flicking' my thumb & index finger on it listening for a 'thud' noise for ripeness.) Didn't know the other two. I've learned something new! 🍉

    Thank you so much. I also liked watching you cut the watermelon in half because that’s difficult too. It looks like you kind of stabbed and cut half way through then couldn’t tell after that.

    I’m growing watermelons in Australia in a temperate climate. I picked one prematurely because it sounded hollow but was white in the middle. Went to check on another one and it broke off the vine🙄. It was going red and tasted ok. Still have 2 on the vine so I’m going to watch out for these signs. Thank you😘

    plz do video on how to thin melon vines, important not to skip over this step. should suckers be cut off main stem? Kevin at Epic says to leave 2 melons per plant which means many have to be removed. how do you choose which melons to leave...those growing closest to root or those at farther end of vine? should stem be severed after 2nd melon so plant doesnt put energy into leaves after last melon? do all leaves nourish melon whether they grow past melon or before? when to stop watering for sweeter crop?
    my melon patch was failure last year bcz i didnt know the answers to these questions. vines produced 80 melons and only 4 were edible. how often to fertlize, and what is best to usr (for growing organic)? I'm in Zone 9b Ca.

    I find that if you want a good right sweet watermelon grow it yourself or find a farmer who grows and pick some at the right time it's hard to find a good watermelon in the grocery stores.
