Squashy thing. Cantaloupe?

My volunteer cucumber is doing a fruit thing. It does not look like a cucumber. I'm hoping it is not a watermelon as it will need a heavier trellis. Definitely in the squashy family the picture on the package looked like the classic 8 inch-ish pickling cuke. The writing was in possibly Polish or Hungarian,something an American might think Russian at first but the letters aren't right. No square a shape and no reversed R.  I have lots of stuff that came up. I don't remember what I planted that never came up. On the upside.... Apparently soil conditions have improved. I need to go buy flowers today I need more bees.  The cherry tomatoes are still going...I dried most for soup. The grape vine I tortured 2 years ago has gone nuts. I have blessed all the neighbors....They are starting to hide. I'm going to have to ask the church or just show up with a poop-ton of grapes. I'm trying to post a picture fingers crossed!  I'm still learning lots and I Truly appreciate the advice and guidance. Thanks!

zippadeedoodahhhhhh! It worked!

The other pic.

That looks extremely similar to my cantaloupe. The leaves, flowers, tendrils and even fruit look the same.

Could be. Maybe my hot composting game needs work. Still it would be awesome! I've never grown cantaloupe. Guess I'd better get studying on when to pick it. So much to learn.

Would the fact the hairy leaves make you itch like okra leaves do? Can it mean squash or melon? Is that even a thing?

The flowers do not look like squash; a cucumber or melon I would think.

My hunch is some sort of melon too. Honeydew? Cantalope?

Please post your findings back here when you have a definite answer. I love a good mystery!

Def not a watermelon! Other melons are hairy, I would say cantaloupe is a definite possibility!
it looks a bit similar to my spaghetti squash, but those don't have so much hair.

I don't know if this is a normal thing but.... to me cucumber leaves and tendrils smell and taste like cucumber. Break off a leaf and nyak on it/the stem and see what it tastes like?

I have been out looking. And whatever it is there are 7 all alike. Frozen cantaloupe from the store be NARZSHTY! eww. I guess I need to look in the cooking\canning pages.

Oooh, the Mystery Squash Channel! I love this show. I just made popcorn.

I've had volunteer muskmelons or canteloupes etc in my garden due to the cow manure I'm using.

Hopefully your 7 won't all ripen in one fell swoop, and oddly I did find that one I picked slightly green due to threatened frost did ripen up after a couple of weeks in a sunny windowsill. So you might be able to eat them over a good long spread out time, some in the fridge and some ripening outside some more, and some ripening in a sunny window.
