I wrote that down for next year! I have soooo many seeds though. My daughter, who was a seed enthusiast but moved to Brooklyn NY, gave me her impressive collection.
I found a great video on how to tell when a melon is ripe. Can't find it again today, but you look at the tendril that is at the very top of the stem to the melon. When that is ALL brown, not even a tiny bit green at the bottom, the melon is ready.
