Melothria scabra, or Mouse Melons, are miniature cucumbers that resemble little watermelons. I came across them at our local agricultural fair this weekend. This is an article about them from the Mother Earth News: http://www.motherearthnews.com/Real-Food/2005-06-01/Mouse-Melons.aspx
I have found seeds for them here:http://www.cottagegardener.com/index.cfm/action/catalog/catalog/list/cat/19/cfid/4252743/cftoken/17456508.cfm
I think these would be a fun veg for kids to grow ( and big kids, like me!)
