In the case of watermelons, if they are shiny, it indicates they are not yet ripe. If they are dark and dull, that means they are ready to eat.</li> <li><strong>The shape</strong>: Ideally you take the roundest one with a uniform size. Watch out for any irregular bumps and soft spots.</li> <li><strong>The weight</strong>: Compare the watermelon to others of the same size. The heavier it is, the more likely it is to be sweet and juicy.</li> <li><strong>The sound</strong>: Tapping on the fruit also gives you information on its state. If the sound is hollow and deep, it is an ideal watermelon. If the sound is barely audible, the fruit has not yet matured completely.</li> <li><strong>The color</strong>: The fruit's green stripes should be a deep dark green color, while its pale stripes should be a creamy light yellow. Look for the field, or ground spot, which is where the watermelon was resting on the ground. This spot should be a creamy yellow. The darker the yellow, the longer it was on the vine gathering sweetness. If the spot is white or not even present, the watermelon is not yet ripe.</li> </ul> https://en.as.com/latest_news/three-fruit-trees-that-you-must-prune-in-march-if-you-want-to-get-the-big-harvest-of-the-year-in-the-summer-n/ Thu, 27 Mar 2025 22:24:05 GMT https://en.as.com/latest_news/three-fruit-trees-that-you-must-prune-in-march-if-you-want-to-get-the-big-harvest-of-the-year-in-the-summer-n/ Andy Hall With Spring around the corner, plants, trees and shrubs will soon be bursting into bloom.
