[QUOTE="Nimrod777, post: 2473742, member: 2033"] From what I heard, as advisement beyond pappy's old thumpin method, ripe melons will tend to take on a dustier look as opposed to the glossy finish of an unripe fruit. The thump probably tells more about the water content than ripeness. The brown stem... well, ripe or not, you may as well pick it, because it's not getting anything else from the root system!
