How do you store a watermelon?

Growing up on a farm I was fortunate to have access to freshly picked fruits and vegetables at the peak of ripeness. And while I loved feasting on sweet tender carrots in early summer and extra-juicy Sun Gold cherry tomatoes in July there was never anything better than a chilled slice of watermelon (sometimes followed by a seed-spitting contest) on a hot humid late-summer day.
Now that I’m no longer on the farm I still go to the farmers market when the season comes around to find the perfect watermelon. I look for one that’s heavy for its size but not too heavy to lug back to my apartment. Once it’s home and cooled I do my best not to eat it all at once and enjoy the fruit piece by piece.
