I watched it so you don't have to. How to pick a watermelon per the Amish: 1. bottom, ground side spot should be deep buttery yellow not white 2. tendrils should be brown and dried up not green 3. it should sound hollow when knocked 4. it should be heavy for its size 5. it should be evenly shaped either round or oval but smoothly symmetrical 6. it should have webbing, stitching, sugar veins = bee visits = sweeter #watermelon #cooking
