PICKING A RIPE WATERMELON * The curly green tendrils will start to yellow and turn brown . This is a sign that the plant is no longer feeding the watermelons and that the right time to pick a watermelon is at hand . * If you pick up a watermelon and thump it with the palm of your hand , sometimes when they are ripe , you will find that they make a hollow sound . Keep in mind that not all ripe watermelon will make this sound , so if it doesn ’ t make a hollow sound it doesn ’ t mean the melon isn ’ t ripe . However , if it does make the sound , it is most assuredly ready to harvest . * The surface color of the watermelon will become dull . The underside of the watermelon that was on the ground will also turn light green or yellow if it is time when to pick a watermelon . * Read more at https :// www . gardeningknowhow . com /
