DO THIS to Pick a RIPE Watermelon EVERY SINGLE TIME

There is an art to picking a watermelon. I am going to tell you 3 tips to pick a perfectly ripe watermelon, so you can pick a ripe and sweet watermelon every single time. The tips include color, sound, stem condition, and give to the skin of the watermelon. Watermelons do not ripen after they are picked so it is crucial to pick a watermelon that ripened on the vine. A ripe watermelon means it is sweet and filled with water.

Thank you so much for your tips. I'm 44yrs old and never knew how to pick a ripe one. But now i do so i will definitely pick my first watermelon this summer.

[@DaisyCreekFarms]

Glad you like the video!

[@Christopher-xd5in]

Clear, concise and to the point. Well done sir

[@yellowbird5411]

I've never been able to tell one thump sound from another. I always go by the big yellow spot. I didn't know about the stem, either. Thank you for this. With summer coming on, it's a timely instruction.

[@Squisheyy]

and all under 3 min. sweet

[@Blynn-md4dx]

Summer would not be complete without RIPE watermelon.

[@burnyizland]

Well I could definitely find it faster by googling but google can't hold a candle to witnessing you demonstrate the sounds. You win this round!

[@florachildressEarth2Flo]

They sounded different when you cut them! Love watermelon fresh water!

[@violetgypsie]

Brown, yellow, hollow, press. Got it 👍🏻 Thanks

[@rodgerbell810]

Hi Jag, we learn something new every day and if we don’t then we are not living our lives to their full potential. Cheers 🍉

[@jenniferraymond3913]

I’m stopping tomorrow and getting a watermelon. They look delicious. Thank you.

[@DinksDinersArtbox]

At last a way to do without thumping, ( I am hearing impaired) I Like this!!!

[@thatgardenlife5488]

Great! I’m excited for this watermelon season.🎉

[@maureennevergiveup395]

Great info. Didn't know about the dry stem and yellow spot. Thanks!

[@1rudderbum]

Thanks again for the ripe tips, you are the best ! Don’t stop

[@mdun5209]

Me too

[@leonafaryna7617]

Me three 😊

[@juliemarr65]

This is clear how you demonstrated this. Thank you, Jag😊

[@cassandrawright-mq5kp]

Thanks, Jag. My dad taught me the first tip (thumping on the watermelon by 'flicking' my thumb & index finger on it listening for a 'thud' noise for ripeness.) Didn't know the other two. I've learned something new! 🍉

[@Anne--Marie]

The first two tips were counterintuitive to me, so thank you for making this video!

[@lillieknight]

Thank you so much. I also liked watching you cut the watermelon in half because that’s difficult too. It looks like you kind of stabbed and cut half way through then couldn’t tell after that.

[@MCOult]

Brother, you just helped make my Summer a tastier one! Thanks! -- Old Matt

[@keithschneider6348]

Great video Jag.

[@Sylvia-zg6yh]

Once again, you've taught me something I didn't know I love watermelons but at times got a unripe one which was disappointing. Thanks to you I'm going to have a much better year. Kisses to Lily

[@Mariteach777]

I hope not to struggle finding ripe watermelons now. Thank you for the tips.👍👍👍

[@1970ADH]

I’m growing watermelons in Australia in a temperate climate. I picked one prematurely because it sounded hollow but was white in the middle. Went to check on another one and it broke off the vine🙄. It was going red and tasted ok. Still have 2 on the vine so I’m going to watch out for these signs. Thank you😘

[@francineburke2440]

Thank you...

[@GreenGranny]

You are killing me here! I want that beautiful watermelon!

[@raincoast9010]

thanks

[@mendynoma4272]

If I find a watermelon at the local farmers’ market I will definitely want one with those wonderful black seeds that are so much fun to “deal with”😊.

[@Gloriajeanne33]

soo good to know

[@bc-guy852]

Perfect Jag - thanks! How about an episode on how you grow them that well?

[@highplainsaccountability6482]

Well it's early May here, Rocky Ford Colorado. I'm going to try your advice in late August

[@debbiep7419]

Brilliant video! I've used the stem trick to pick cantaloupe for decades but never thought to apply it to choosing watermelon (head slap). Now I really want some watermelon but my seeds haven't even sprouted yet.

[@swannee18]

Thank you Jag, now I know.🎉

[@monsterglo]

I have learned so much from your channel, wish I knew you 25 years ago, I would be a master organic gardener 😊 ❤

[@DaisyCreekFarms]

Glad you like the videos!

[@ratanshomekitchengarden2552]

[@muccia7328]

Now I know! All these years of hit or miss ❤

[@billgolcher2537]

Mmm that makes me hungry for watermelon 🍉 😋

[@zan4110]

Thanks for all the tips..eating a nice, juicy sweet watermelon right now...🤣

[@camicri4263]

Thanks Jag! The best watermelons are the ones with seeds.

[@nicolasdesjardins9751]

[@fmpranav]

Please make a video for other fruits and vegetables as well, on how to pick vegetables. Also when to harvest for those grow.

[@gloriastreet4684]

I wish I had seen this video yesterday lol

[@EVTD79]

That's ok, go back and pick that ripe watermelon 🍉

[@DaisyCreekFarms]

Apply it on the next watermelon!

[@user-ty3yi6tt6z]

Love from assam 🇮🇳

[@navpreetkaur9901]

Thank you Bhaji but plz tell us how to pick ripe cantaloupe

[@florachildressEarth2Flo]

Love your tips! Would be great to be your neighbor!

[@louskimming4371]

Man, you went through a lot of trouble just to justify a watermelon treat! ;-) Thanks! Good info.

[@joenobles1086]

Hey Jag I have a question what happened to the dark green Georgia cannon ball watermelons those were so sweet and dark red inside I haven't found those in stores anymore

[@michelesoniat3878]

That's so cool thank you. Hope you do have avocados 😋🥑

[@hobbycathartic]

My Chinese wife always says to get a watermelon with a small a**. She's referring to the end opposite the stem. So far, for the past 12 years, she's never picked a bad one.

[@bluebird9193]

plz do video on how to thin melon vines, important not to skip over this step. should suckers be cut off main stem? Kevin at Epic says to leave 2 melons per plant which means many have to be removed. how do you choose which melons to leave...those growing closest to root or those at farther end of vine? should stem be severed after 2nd melon so plant doesnt put energy into leaves after last melon? do all leaves nourish melon whether they grow past melon or before? when to stop watering for sweeter crop? my melon patch was failure last year bcz i didnt know the answers to these questions. vines produced 80 melons and only 4 were edible. how often to fertlize, and what is best to usr (for growing organic)? I'm in Zone 9b Ca.

[@Channelinterrupted]

I pat them to assess the water content by feel and sound....its never been wrong.. illnusenyour tios along with my method..

[@timmmmmmmmmmy1]

Swallow the seeds 😊 👍👍 Jag.
