Cantaloupe growing on my compost pile from seeds that got deposited months ago. The plants cover 3-4 square meters so are almost out to the driveway. With all this rain we've been having the ones sitting on dirt have been having a problem with "belly rot" while the ones on sand stay drier. I looked on the Internet and supporting them on egg cartons was suggested so I've done that with a few. Already ate 1/2 of one last week and was just as good as you'd buy in the store. Next to plant some seeds I brought down from up north.
Largest about 8" on sand
Smaller but looks more like a Cantalope

Volunteers - nothing better ;-) We left for a couple of months and came back to hundreds of chayote plants ready to harvest - fed the entire neighborhood .
