A quick update on how large the volunteer melon has grown! It’s really starting to look like a cantaloupe now.

@DesertStateAgent thanks! I think it helps to provide shade to the soil under the citrus.

@mhpgardener This is our first time growing melons/squash. It had to come from a melon we bought at some farmers market which means I’m hoping it should do well in this climate. I think the shape is just it growing at a good pace right now, but it sure seems happy whatever it is, lol. I’ve been tyold that they are ready to eat when you can just barely tug on them and they come off the vine…I hope it makes it to harvest 🙂

Does that look like a variety that you’ve grown before? I know you said it came from your compost, so it would make sense that you grew it or bought it, then put the waste in the compost pile. Its an odd shape for sure.
