No cantaloupe does not ripen off the vine.

Wait to pick it until the leaf right next to the fruit shrivels up and falls off, or wait until the fruit falls off the vine.

When do you reap tomatoes?

You can reap the fruits either green or red. Once they get sufficiently big, they can be picked green and ripened off the vine in a dark cool location or make fried green tomatoes, or they can be allowed to turn red and ripen on the vine. The best flavor will be realized when allowed to ripen on the vine.

How can you tell if a watermelon is not good anymore?

In order to choose a cantaloupe that is ripe, the first thing you should do is smell it. When a cantaloupe is ripe, it will give off a sweet smell that smells, well, like a cantaloupe. The outer rind will be golden/orange in color. If the cantaloupe is not quite ripe, the rind will be a green color. You should also gently squeeze the cantaloupe. A ripe fruit will be soft, but not too soft (as this is a sign of it being over ripe). Start by squeezing at the end opposite the stem as this area will get soft first. Lastly, keep in mind that cantaloupe continue to ripen after you purchase them. If you let an unripe cantaloupe sit for a few days at room temperature, it should ripen within a few days.


How do you ripen cantalope?

Yes, leave in the seeds and wrap it in plastic or put it in a plastic bag. This will keep the gas it produces itself to ripen in the closed area. Also, the colder the cantaloupe the slower it will ripen. You may want to give it some time at room temp to help it along, not too long, though.
