Thank you all for your comments.

Kitt we have success to report on the watermelon project. My mom was not interested in making a judgement when she came. And the stem never did respond to my nudging . Finally the weatherman pushed a decision by giving us frost the last 2 nights. We had the melons covered of course. But with more cool weather in the forecast and no warming trend in sight I took a risk and cut into the smallest one today. Red and delicious. Not sure if it might be verging on overripe as the flesh is beginning to pull away from the very dark seeds. However still very crisp and tasty.
