| Much as I hate to admit it, I have forgotten how to determine when the Honey Girl Melons are ripe for the picking. I know they do not slip off the vine like other cantelope/muskmelom. I would appreciate any help you could give me.. They are getting to be a very nice size. Also, the same question would apply to a melon my dad is growing called a St Nick. |
| When a melon is ripe you'll begin to notice small cracks along the stem where the melon is attached to the vine. When the stem starts to shrivel a bit, pick the melon up and give it a twist. If it slips easily, it's ready to harvest. If not, leave it alone for a few days and try again. |
