They appear to be Mexican Sour Gherkin's. I've grown them in the past and they are tasty right off the vine. Just got tired of trying to make them grow here. Going off friends and my own experience they seem to perform well with a higher humidity.

What are the small-spiny ones in the last photo? The "Melothria scabra" plants I am growing on my porch are producing fruit more like those than the little-watermelons they're supposed to be.

Edit: The bumpy/spiny little cukes look like Cucumis anguria, the "West Indian Gherkin"/"Burr Gherkin"/"Burr Cucumber". My "M. scabra" seedlings came from a friend who ordered seeds from an Amazon.com vendor. It wasn't what we thought, but at least it is edible.

Then the question remains as to what the fuzzy little cukes are next to the spiny/bumpy ones?
