Hi-
This vine volunteered last spring. While I usually pull volunteers, I let this one go. It is prolifically producing this melon. Last year I grew Crenshaw Melons, Galias, Hale's best cantaloupes and Crimson Sweet watermelon.

Could something have crossed? I didn't plant any melons in the area last year. I am sure it ended up there from the compost (note to self: no melon seeds in the compost!)

And ideas? It smells amazing. Can't wait to cut into it. This weighs 4 pounds. It's about the size of a large Crenshaw.
