Ripening Melons?

Date: July 03, 2014 04:25PM I just bought some melons, one was so disappointing. Hard and not very sweet. I just imagined that it was a carrot to eat it. 1/2 of it is on the table with some plastic wrap, hoping it will soften and sweeten somewhat. Cursed be the commercial produce! Its so hit and miss. I don't have any garden space to grow my own fruit. How does the raw foodist provide themselves with a consistent supply of ripe fruit? The only fruit here with predictable ripeness has been banannas. Which is ok, but I want a little variety. Any suggestions? Re: Ripening Melons?

Date: July 04, 2014 09:26PM Early picked melons have parallel lines (or parallel green bands). Ripe melons have the same color all over. They are easy to differentiate in the supermarket.
