Weighed in at 2.75 lbs.

I think it's ready because the vine was dying. How long should I let it sit in the sun before it's ready to be eaten?

No need to leave it in the sun. It will be tastier if left to cure in a dry spot for a couple of weeks. Garage, carport, counter, pantry etc.

Thanks! The vines get huuuge, though. My garden plot is too small.

I did find seeds for a bush buttercup. Will try those next year.
