Default What on earth is this thing?

"Jane Doe" expounded:

I purchased this plant as a seedling, the tag said Watermelon 'Charleston
Gray'. The tag said that they are oblong and grow up to 25lbs each.

Mine have been in the soil since the end of May. The pictures that I'm
attaching are showing leaves, and the actual fruit. The growing habit is
similar to that of a cucumber but I don't believe that these are.

What is this thing? Is it a cucumber? A watermelon? Was it mislabeled?


It certainly looks like a cucumber, for some reason Armenian cuke
comes to mind.
