NICE! What's the variety?

My melon vines are starting to take off! I took out the cabbage that was in its way this morning. 8)

Very nice. I'm in Michigan so it will be quite some time before I'll be harvesting my melons. Was that a paper plate under it? If so, how did that work? Doesn't it decay with multiple waterings? I'm trellising mine so I won't be doing this, but I'd like to learn what is best to put under the fruit and maybe let one or two stay on ground.

Something is still chewing through them. It took about 2 weeks fir them to chew through the plates. I just went out there and put another layer under them last night.
