honeydew

We chose our first melon of the season this week. It was very juicy, but not very sweet. 

Any tips on choosing the best melon from the grocery store? 

I typically choose one that has no blemishes (or only minor ones), feels heavy for its size, and smells sweet at the end. This one did not smell particularly sweet, but none of the melons I picked up smelled sweet. Perhaps it's just too early?

I'd love to hear your tips!
