The other clue to a ripe honeydew is a sweet, heady aroma. People tend to check the stem end of the melon to see if it's soft, but that's not going to tell you a thing. Good aroma, color, freckles, and a sticky feel are the telltale signs of a sweet honeydew. In season, honeydews from California are the best.

Step 6. Water the honeydew melon plants with 2 inches of water each week during the morning hours. Water around the base of the plants and avoid getting water onto the leaves of the plants because wet foliage can contribute to fungal disease.tep 7. Fertilize the honeydew melon plants every two weeks by mixing the fertilizer with water according to package recommendations. Add a mulch of compost or shredded bark around the base of the plants to improve the soil.
