Growing on a vine next to the squash, looks like a cucumber vine. About 1" X 1", orange, full of seeds. Taste and smells like watermelon to me, citrus to others. Didn't kill me when I tasted it so I guess it is not poisonous. I first thought it was a kumquat, but they do not grow on vines. If I am in the wrong forum, please excuse me; and help me to the right one if you can.
Thank you,

It has a tight skin just like a citrus, a thin skinned lemon or lime. You can squeeze it and feel the juice inside. Just like a kumquat. Smells like a melon, but does not have the tight skin of a melon. I posted this pix, I have arthrits and my camera does not have auto focus, so it is a little blurry. Sorry. I think because of the citrus skin it is not a melon or lemon cucumber.
thank you,
