Galia melons and either Yellow Doll or Yellow Pony watermelons.

I planted honeydew in tubs this year and even with netting the melon,
the critters did away with it. Same thing happened to what I think was
a cantaloupe volunteer from compost mix-ins.

My flower bed in the front yard was liberally treated to compost and
the tomato and melon volunteers are so numerous and so healthy and
productive, that I am amazed. Of course, I have grown neither melons
nor tomatoes in that bed before.

I have no idea of what varieties of either I am growing. There are
cherry, grape and larger cluster tomatoes, as well as some sort of
heirlooms. And I cannot as yet tell what sort of melons are coming
up...not pumpkins, for sure. They look like cantaloupes and will be a
welcome surprise if they ripen.  This bed is thoroughly fenced in,
although the tomatoes and vines are growing over the top and the deer
are happy with the overgrowth. I may add netting on top.

And the impatiens are really loving the shade.
