When I buy fruit or vegetables or mushrooms unless I try to eat them right away they tend to spoil if I try to save them unless they are in a special sealed container to prevent spoiling such as canned, frozen, juice bottled, dried, etc
I do not even bother with fresh fruits and vegetables and mushrooms anymore
Also I found if a vegetable does not have protein or carbohydrate it reduces how much food and thus protein and carbohydrate I can consume limiting my exercise performance

I thought you were buying them at a store & you wasted time & money trying to find the best ones & they were not good
I thought pick meant select not remove them from a plant
A farmer might grow a lot of melons & then the bad ones might be filtered out by middle men before the good ones are sold to the consumer
If you only had 2 melons maybe that is why they were not of good quality
Maybe you have to pick them at the right time or use different farming techniques or soil & weather
