place that the melon rested on the
soil. If this spot is green or white,
the watermelon probably isn’t ripe.
• Whole watermelons will only keep
in the refrigerator for about a week.
• The flavor of watermelon can be
enhanced by adding a squeeze of
lemon juice, honey or chopped
mint.
• Chop watermelon up into small
pieces to replace tomatoes in salsa.
