When does watermelon ripen?

The ripening time of watermelons varies from place to place, and watermelons are listed in May of the lunar calendar.

Five methods to judge the maturity of watermelon;

1, marking method: This is the simplest method to judge the maturity of watermelon. That is, mark the flowering watermelons, collect several watermelons randomly according to the maturity days required by the varieties, and observe the maturity to determine whether they can be harvested.

2. Observe the tendrils of watermelon seedlings: the tendrils of the last or next section of mature watermelon turn yellow or wither, indicating that the watermelon is mature.

3. Observe the watermelon skin: The mature watermelon skin has luster, clear patterns and protruding thin ribs. If the peel sticks to the ground, the variety of dark green peel is yellow, and the variety of light color peel becomes green and white, then the watermelon is mature.

4. Knock on the watermelon: When one hand holds the watermelon and the other hand gently knocks on the watermelon skin, it makes a low and turbid "swelling" sound, and the hand holding the watermelon will have a tremor, indicating maturity.

5. Observation in the water: Mature watermelons can float in the water, but immature watermelons cannot float on the water.
