5 Tips to Help You Harvest A Ripe Watermelon From Your Garden EVERY TIME

Charleston Gray!

When I pick one with the tendril is dead for over a week it's not ready yet.

Who can send me Ali baba seeds of watermelon.....?

Cutting into a ripe watermelon is like magic.

What variety of watermelon is this 😍

OMG......how sweeeeeet

Thanks for the tip on it being light green and not having a yellow spot!

Just check the tendril . Google watermelon tendril that will tell you if it's ripe. It's a little short curly q

It's great for me to have a great friend like you my friend

thank you that helped me for my watermelon

Thank you, by far the most helpful video I have watched! Just picked two watermelons this week from my garden and they weren’t ready yet. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Is that a Charleston Grey? I have several growing right now. Theyre not getting any bigger, but the tendrils are still green. My grandfather used to grow acres of these, but unfortunately we can never find any for sale these days. BEST watermelon ever.

Best part of the video..."it looks like steak".

👍👍

You'll never know the DTM if you plant a seed from a good watermelon that you had.

That could not be 31 Lbs 10 oz, no way

It's all good until they started lacing all the melons with fructose injections. Now all the melons are disgustingly sweet.

Can't wait till I harvest my FIRST 🍉
Because of you- I have decided to grow watermelon for the first time. Looking forward to a great harvest. Thanks for all your videos.
🍉 🌸🍉

Thanks for the tips! I'm growing watermelon and actually have watermelon fruit getting close to ripeness for the first time ever!

We pick our melon at Food Lion or WalMart so this info is useless to us.

Mükemmel

It tastes like watermelon 😂.

Christa's Garden I appreciate you saying these tips are not 100%. I can tell you the only sure fire 100% way to tell if the melon is ripe. As you stated the first sign before even checking is the humps and lumps. If you do nothing else do not even attempt to pick until the melon is lumpy. Now to get peak ripeness once it reaches that point grasp the vine with your index finger where it connects to the melon and pull snugly. If the melon is ripe the vine will snap off. This is the only way to tell if the melon is ripe. No tendril, not yellow spots. The vine will snap off. Never ever cut a watermelon off the vine. If this is needed then the melon isnt ripe.

Wow thanks so much. That was delicious!!

Gorgeous watermelon

What hind is this?

Charleston Grey?

The cracks in the watermelon shows that it is overripe. An over ripened watermelon can cause food poisening or make some people sick
