Squasher Melon! YIPPEEE! Save the seeds, you can make a fortune - assuming it tastes good, You must let us know what it tastes like and take photos of the inside when you cut it as well.

You'll never know until you cut into it! My grandfather once had a pumpkin/butternut squash hybrid decide to grow out of his compost pile. It was huge, orange on the outside, but smooth - not ribbed like a pumpkin. It was also not mostly hollow like a pumpkin would be, it was solid like a butternut squash - and weighed a ton! He had to move it with the tractor when it was ready to be eaten!

I have seen posts on squash forums saying a watermelon had crossed with their butternut, but I haven't found anything anywhere saying a squash pollinated a melon... and I can't find pictures of either one. Probably tastes pretty gross if it is a hybrid. Right now it's the size of a squash. I wonder if it will round out like the other one did. I cut that one up and it smelled like watermelon but was yellowy green inside. Granted it was still rather small and I don't know what size melons are when they turn pink.

That's the weirdest thing I've ever seen .I had no idea two plants could
cross pollinate. How you can baby it along till it ripens & see what you
end up with. Very curious.

my boss just told me he grows watermelons and they sometimes start off like that, but fill out. So I guess we'll wait and see....
