Hi all,
my only watermelon is turing yellow on the top, and the bottom is still white. when thumping, it doesn't have the hollow sound of a ripe melon. My garden bed is in an area which gets sun all day, but I am somewhat surprised to see how yellow the melon has turned on the top!
The plant is one of those classic type watermelon - that one sees at the store - two toned green strips with seeds and is large oblong fruit. The seedling was planted on May 20, and fruit didn't appear until June 23. I am all organic, here.
With it turning yellow on the top: is this a bad thing? I really do not think it is ripe, and it's my only one so far. I not been able to find anything on the internet about the top turning yellow and I sure don't want to pick it before it's time.
Thank you, Frankie
