It appears to be friction damage. Probably caused by a leaf or cup, if you covered it, on a windy day.

Never left one long enough to find out. Had one on this year with a small rub on the bottom. Culled it because of pear shape BUT the scar (healed)was not growing as well as I would have hoped. Just an observation.

Thanks brother dave.
Found a small spot on my melon on the 251 Kent.
My first thought was "that pot I covered it with during that thunderstorm last night must have done that"
Thanks for confirmation.
