Choosing the Right Melon~
Not sure which melon in the bunch is ripe? Here's how to find out:

CANTALOUPE- Look for an indented stem end; this means the melon came off the vine at the proper time.

HONEYDEW- You want a smooth rind that is white, yellow, or pale green. A ripe honeydew should have a slightly fruity aroma and be soft at the stem end.

WATERMELON- If it sounds hollow when you give it a good thump, it's ripe. Look for a firm, nicely shaped melon that has a creamy yellow underside where the melon had lain on the ground long enough to ripen.
