Well what ever it is... it is not surviving Arizona's winter.
It has stopped growing and the leaves are turning yellow.

I cracked one open and it smells exactly like a cucumber.
Weird...

Well now you have no options but to eat it. What does it taste like? I'm not a botanist but it doesn't look very poisonous....

I just came across this thread. I would NEVER had said watermelon as I've never seen one grow on a squash plant. (Which those leaves more closely resemble to me.)

But it is in fact a melon of SOME kind. I'd bet a dollar it's a Santa Claus type mutant. Give me a minute and I might even recall a better candidate..(Santa Claus usually aren't round.)

However, it's going to be pretty hard to nail it down with such a stressed immature fruit. However, it looks like you could dry out those seeds and plant them out next year and get a better ID.

It's pretty much common for almost all melons to smell like cucumbers when immature.

Those are DEFINITELY NOT watermelon seeds! Classic cantalope, honeydew, Isreal melon seeds.

Or maybe, just maybe....a breast melon got too close to a Peter pepper....(have fun Googling images of those two!)

Lol.. thanks.

Maybe I should save a couple seeds and try again during the summer.
