| This is probably a pretty dumb question, but does anyone know how to ripen a watermelon after it has been picked. Can you set it in the sun? I picked some watermelons thinking they were ripe and ready. They sure sounded ripe when I thumped them. Well, obviously, they weren't. |

sorry, once they are picked, they will never ripen properly

I always love it when mistakes become non-mistakes, and watermelon pickles are a perfect example, lol.
