Greetings,
Has anyone here ever grown white wonder watermelons? I am wondering how to know when they are ripe. I know that they are a 3lb-5lb icebox melon, but short of taking the scale into the field is there another way that I will know when they are ready? Much to my surprise I have several that are larger than a softball and getting quite green. These are planted in my high tunnel as a trial. I planted 40 plants and foolishly thought that I would hand pollinate. There are hundreds of flowers on gigantic plants and melons shaping up everywhere. Pollination is not an issue and I have not pollinated anything myself. Thanks for the input.
