Will melon ripen on its own

Question

Will a melon ripen on its own if picked while it’s just a little red on inside?

Answer 1

Assuming you mean watermelon, they will not continue to ripen once picked, but they will soften, so they can become edible. Once you pick them, they essentially stop sweetening. This article will help with harvesting:
