Pick a rolly-polly watermelon. Cut lengthwise from each end, towards the center, slicing off top third. Leave a center portion 2 1/2 " wide for the handle. Using a serrated knife, make big scallops around the top edge of the watermelon.
With a melon baller, form balls from watermelon, honeydew and cantaloupe. Toss with grapes and berries. Scrape inside of watermelon with a spoon to remove excess melon. Fill with fruit. Tie a bow on the basket handle to coordinate with table setting and napkins. Garnish with fresh mint.
Note: at the end of the meal, rinse watermelon basket; pat dry and freeze for later use.
