Watermelon still not ripe?

Well like the title say's my watermelon is still not ripe. It's already Oct the est. first frost is the 15th of this month. It has been pretty cool here they don't get all day sun. SOOOOOOOOO should I just pull them up or wait and see what happens?

Thanks

I think I may have put them in a little late. I will hold out as long as possible. I assume at first frost they are done though correct.
