Cantaloupes, ripen on window sill

Question

Will cantaloupes ripen on the window sill if they are picked a little green (not ripe)?

Answer 1

Probably not as fast as you would like. Try enclosing them in a paper sack with an apple or banana. They give off more of the gas that causes ripening.  

Answer 2

Yes cantaloupes will continue to ripen after picked..here is a chart on this..
