Islandcool 0 #1 April 24, 2003 pick a good watermelon. Watermelons are on sale for $.19 a pound. When I pick them it kinda of a hit and miss thing. I know they say thump them but that appears to be hit and miss also. Anyone got a tried and true method? Ed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Islandcool 0 #3 April 24, 2003 QuoteJust for you.... Damn too cool. Last time I did an internet search on How to pick an eggplant basically all it told me was how not to pick a rotten one. Advice like "make sure it is free of soft spots or bugs". Thanks. Now to go try out my new fruit picking skills. Ed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meridianjumper 0 #4 April 24, 2003 You need to thump it with your fingers or knock on it like you would a door. The more hollow it sounds, the better it is. Blue Skies, Jeremy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #5 April 24, 2003 Just about any watermelon will be good when you cut a hole in it, pour a bottle of everclear in it, put the piece back in and put it in the fridge over night...

Tonto 1 #19 April 24, 2003 I eat them to see if they're OK. If they're white, they're not ripe, and if they're all water and no melon, you've waited too long.(At $0.19 be brave, and form your own system!) t It's the year of the Pig. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
