My favorite is watermelon, yet it is so difficult to find a good one. I know how to check for ripeness, except they're most always too ripe. I several each summer and usually end up having cutting some up for the doggos and some to freeze for smoothies because they are too mushy to munch on. Still, there is nothing better than a perfectly ripe yet firm and juicy watermelon.
