HOW TO PICK OUT A GOOD WATERMELON:
Look for the Large Yellow Spot – This is where the watermelon was laying in the field. Make sure it’s a decent size and is yellow.
Give it a Good Thump – You want to make sure it sounds hollow.
Dull Outside – You want to make sure the outside of the watermelon looks dull and not shiny. A shiny watermelon means its not ripe.
Lift it Up – You want to make sure it’s heavy for it’s size, which means it has a ton of water in it (what you want!!)
Nice Oval Shape – A uniform-shaped watermelon shows that it got the perfect amount of sunshine and water.
Bee Stings and White Scars – Look for these little guys. These little marks show that it’s sweet enough that even the bees were trying to get to the inside. The stings look like brown lines or dots on the melon.

@Sheannutt Yes, me too. I know we can grow tem here in NY State but I have not tried it yet. I just wait until the guys in the truck with the georgia licence plat show up.They sell them right out of the back of the truck.
@Sheannutt They even put them into the trunk for me. It started any years ago when the Iron Horsemen (motorcycle group) had their headquarter across the street from me. I would trade them homemade bread and coffee cakes for water melons.
