Sometimes it’s a hard game to know if a watermelon is ripe. The things to look out for are these: The stem turns brown, the tendril on the stem turns brown, the spot on the bottom of the watermelon turns yellow, and the watermelon sounds hollow. Since you have the hollow sound, it is probably close, but still a tough judgment call.
