Last years drought produced for me the sweetest melons Ive ever grown. I harvested 330 watermelons for eating and market sales. I love those Sugar babies, Charleston Grays and Crimson Sweets. The way i check for ripeness is to watch the curl on the vine just above the fruit, it will turn brown when ripe. Pretty neat thing last year the small young fruit left after frost i was going to mow over them and lo and behold they were 1/10 size ripe melons.
