Not a watermelon, canteloupe is a possibility.

Farmerdill, Thanks much for your reply. I guess a watermelon wouldn't be fuzzy would it?! lol!

Is that a Kiwi? That is what it looks like to me. But I am no expert. :-) I know I could have grown them here in FL

Nope, the blossom and leaf says cucurbit, but unfortunately not what kind exactly. It could be one of several types of melons. Odds are that it is a cantaloupe from pitched seeds. but it could be any small vining cucurbit from a gherkin to some type of oranmental squash (gourd). Cucumbers and watermelons can be ruled out, becuse none of them start fuzzy.
