Anyone who knows my husband knows that when summer rolls around he is in watermelon heaven. One-to-two-a-week watermelon heaven. I’m asked upon occasion how I choose a good watermelon. For me it’s been about the sound. I “thunk” it and it has to resonate properly. There’s a slight reverberation, a hollowness of sound that comes back to me as if the vibration is coming through the juiciness of the melon. If you thunk it and you get a thud, put that melon back and pick up another.
This demo video is definitely not ready for YouTube, but I hope it will guide you to a watermelon-licious summer.
OK. I’ll try it! How about Honeydew?
I’ve never been able to pick a good one. My grandmother said
the stem part should be a little soft and yellow and smell sweet.
Usually I ask the produce person for help.
I love watermelon too! Thanks for this delicious post!
Best teaching moment……..thank you 🙂
My pleasure!

That would be a hoot with watermelons as our drums!
