The moment you’ve been waiting for has arrived – it’s time to harvest your precious melons! But how do you know when they’re ready? Here are some signs to look for:
- Sweet Fragrance: When your melons emit a sweet fragrance, it’s a good indicator that they are ripe and ready to be enjoyed.
- Easy Stem Slip: Gently check if the stem easily slips off the melon with a little pressure. This is another sign that the melon is ripe and at its peak flavor.
