Hi all,
I'm wondering, if I pick my own or buy a watermelon, does it
continue to ripen?

Somtimes I buy a watermelon and it's not ripe enough so
I'm wondering if there is any benefit to just leaving it
for a week before cutting it open.


Watermelons do not continue to ripen once they/ve been removed from the
vine, so there/e no benefit in waiting.
