My 2019 Gardens/Flowerbeds

[wiperhunter2]

There are several ways to tell when a watermelon is getting close to being ripe. the first thing is that little curly Q that forms near the stem of the melon. When that turns brown, it is getting close, when I notice that, I start thumping the melon. A dull thump means it's not ready, but a hollow thumb means it should be picked within a week or so. A lot of it is trial by error but after you do it for a while, you can tell the difference.
