I've had the opposite! Many melons we've bought are mushy in the middle this year. It seems very hard to get them right.

Ahh Cossy, you feel my pain! I'm tempted to take them back, but would feel a bit embarrassed with two tupperware containers 😜

No tips, but I’d be furious, I love melon!

I bought a honeydew melon from Aldi on Tuesday and was anticipating the gloriousness of its juicy interior. I cut it up into bite size pieces and ... aaaaargh, it was hard, unjuicy and inedible for my sensitive mouth. Very disappointed 😞
Yesterday I bought another honeydew melon from Waitrose - once more feeling that anticipation ...
NOOOOOO! this one is exactly the same!
I now have two tupperware containers full of inedible melon, and a) have no idea what to do with them, b) dread my future melon purchases. Any ideas/tips/ripe melons?!
