| How do you tell when a watermelon and cantalope are ready to pick? Our
sugar babie watermelon are a little bigger than a basketball | most of them
and the cantalopes are pretty big also. The cantalopes are ivory with some
light green showing thru.Any help would be | appreciated!

Pick the lopes when they easily slip from the vine.

Sugar Babies are ready when the bottoms are yellow, the curly-q near the
stem is brown, and they have a nice thump when tapped. You can anticipate
the date to pick by counting forward from the day of planting, the number of
days to maturity.
