Helpful tip from The Garden Geeks: Did you know you can ripen melons quicker with metal cans? Raise the melons off the ground by resting them on top of upside down, empty metal coffee cans (or something similar) pushed into the soil. The metal cans accumulate heat, making the fruit ripen earlier; they also help repel insects.
