Any ideas where and when to get a GOOD watermelon?

All of those that I bought so far went to the basura as total tasteless soft junk.

Suggestions please!!

Where do you live?


El Batey. Tried to buy in el mercado in Puerto PLata, and in Tropical and in Playero. The same result. Maybe it is important to buy in a particular season? I do not know.

here is the real deal: no google searched info.
Tap on the watermelons, tap hard and feel the thump. if the melon sounds a bit hollow from inside, this is the one. The hard ones with solid sound are not riped yet, the hollow sounding ones are exploding with sweetness.
