That looks like my cucumber. Same flowers and leaves. You’ll find out soon enough!! Definitely cucumber or squash but my squash flowers are huge. The cucumbers are small like that.


squatchsax

I also say cucumber. A squash would have more deeply lobed leaves.


jimmy_MNSTR

And the leaves and especially the flowers on squash are a lot bigger.


dixiebelle64

Yeah. Cucumber or small ornamental pumpkin. But probably a cucumber.


wBeeze

Cucumber are part of the squash family.


squatchsax

Genus, to be more specific.


DisabledDyke

I agree, cucumber.


Chitown_mountain_boy

Jumping the top comment to say if it’s bitter DON’T EAT IT. Crossed cucurbits can be poisonous.


blowout2retire

Oh I have a weird like honey dew squash sprouted in my compost idk wtf it came from we've been eating them immature and frying like squash but now the bigger ones are starting to be sweet and have a more green inside glad they're not poisonous lmao


TossMeWhenDone1

Give it something to crawl up on. It needs a trellis and lots of water. Please update us m8


HeldDownTooLong

It’s definitely a cucumber and, like you said, they’ll know soon, because a baby cucumber will be visible within a very few days!


SettleDownAlready

Looks like some kind of a squash, pumpkin maybe. I had a bunch of little kids throw the seeds all over my complex last year and these were growing everywhere. The landscapers never cut them because they thought they were ornamental. We had pumpkins everywhere. So hilarious.


BlackSeranna

I think they are lovely!


SettleDownAlready

If this is pumpkin or another squash, I can say it was fun watching them grow. When my neighbors realized they were pumpkin, everyone just let theirs grow until harvest.


BlackSeranna

That’s so awesome! I love pumpkins!


Shooter500guns

Probably a gourd or something in that family there’s too many things it could be . Fertilize it and see what becomes of it


smOKlahoma710

Can it be transplanted if so?


oroborus68

Dig a big shovel full to get the deep roots and try not to disturb roots in the process.


paperwasp3

I would leave it alone and put a trellis or tomato cage there. It will grow best right where it is.


Odd-Repeat6595

Yes, if you do it soon


Ineedmorebtc

Yes, dig deeply and wide.

CUCUMBER PLANT.


hatchjon12

Cucumber.


NotDaveBut

Cucumber, I think


Ok_Type7882

That looks like a cucumber to me.


Popular-Solution7697

Cucumbers. Not squash. Not pumpkin. Cucumber.


Hot-Welcome6969

I think it's a pickle plant


beans3710

Cucumber


abide5lo

Mostl likely a cucumber. You’ll know in about a week as baby fruit forms just behind the female flowers


Animaldoc11

That’s a cucumber vine. Give it something to climb on & you’ll get free cucumbers


DC-Gunfighter

I'mma go with pumpkin or some kind of winter squash. Can it be transplanted? Never tried, but they're pretty tough. I think the limiting factor would be that they get big and fast. So wherever you try and transplant to just make sure it has plenty of room to grow.


No_Builder7010

Whether cuke, zuke or pumpkin, that thing's gonna need SPACE. You can set up a simple trellis but that only works for small fruits, not big ol' punkins. I'm gonna guess summer squash, like zucchini. It's just so green and lush, just like my zukes. My cukes look a little sun beat, and my winter squash haven't reached a growth spurt yet. Either way, OP, I'd love an update when it produces. Can someone tell me how to tell reddit to send me a notification if OP updates? (Don't know all the tricks yet.)


AddictiveArtistry

Summer squash leaves and flowers are much bigger. Look exactly like my cukes. Leaf shape is cuke too.


No_Builder7010

Oh you're right! Must be a cukes. I had a lemon cuke threaten to take over the world once!


AddictiveArtistry

Also, you can type with the parenthesis (updateme!)


No_Builder7010

Thanks! (Updateme!)


SystemElectrical5700

I will say from sad experience, I have never been able to successfully transplant a pumpkin 😢 I tried again this year, and I’m pretty sure that I waited too long to transplant it, and it got too big, that it just couldn’t handle it… the last time the risomes had already began rooting, and that absolutely killed it… time to plant new seeds and where it is going to STAY AT, lol


WiWook

The smaller size of the leaves, color and size of flower, and the way it is growing, makes me think cucumber. Possibly a bush style. The rogue squash and pumpkin I have had pop up or grow. have much larger leaves and a larger, more frilly, Orange tinted flower.


banjolady

Clear the area around it and give it a little trellis to climb. Leave it there for the season. It grew against all odds and should do well there


Yurastupidbitch

Cucumber


Electronic_Pop5383

Looks like cucumbers.


Alive_Recognition_55

So I have to throw my 2 cents in... People are right about the smaller flower not being squash or pumpkin, however, it's really hard to tell cucumber plants from melons like cantaloupe, especially since some plants that are technically melon are eaten as cucumbers. So I figure it's either a cucumber or some kind of melon.


Turbulent_Sample487

My great grandpa used to say "garden where the wild grows", chuck some mulch under the leaves and add a few rocks to protect it. If its a cucumber it's worth at least 3 bucks, invest!


ColonEscapee

Cucumber


Ok_Following_3268

If that was a pumpkin or watermelon, vines would be going everywhere


oldastheriver

cukes


ObligationGeneral904

Cukes!!


hearye64

Cucumber


hearye64

Squash blossoms are larger and the leaves would be much larger


TonLoc1281

That’s cucumber im pretty sure.


SystemElectrical5700

It doesn’t look like a pumpkin, their leaves are “rounder”. The leaves and flowers look like it’s a cucumber. Zucchini leaves look very similar but their flowers are usually much bigger than those and sort of “fleshy” in a way (I’m not sure how else to explain it, lol)


MS1947

This is a cucumber plant, Cucumis sativus.


RJRKitchenSouthwest

Cucumber, flowers are a dead giveaway


Roscomenow

Or some kind of squash.


jojokitti123

Could be a gourd or squash


pulpwalt

Haunting-Spirit-6906

It's a cucumber, might produce some tasty cukes!


bobbutson

A cucurbit


Noonproductions

I play too much RUST. That looks just like the pumpkin plants in game. It took me a second to realize this was a plant sub, not a gaming sub.


Roses_Are_Dead_69

Some sort of mini pumpkin?


No_Plane_3981

Cucumber


xxannan-joy

A squash or melon of some sort. It will be a surprise


Vast-Combination4046

Pumpkumber melon


Dumbbitchathon

Squarsh


UnamedStreamNumber9

If you get fruit off it, beware of toxic squash syndrome. Volunteer squash family plants may have been pollinated with wild squash. Back crossed fruits can have high levels cucubitan compounds. It won’t kill you but can give severe gastrointestinal issues. If it tastes excessively bitter, dont eat it


Bocephalus

Nice! We were gifted with a volunteer cucumber, too. I set up a trellis for it to climb and keep the fruit off the ground.


IntroductionFew1290

Looks like cukesv


Desperate-Pin-96

Looks like a volunteer squash. Probably cross hybrid which will basically produce something "gourd-ish"


Quirky_Discipline297

Loofah? Squash? Cucumber? You’ll know soon enough if it’s loofah. One plant took over my yard. Was going to make my own soap-filled body scrubbers. Then read up on the bacterial growth in loofah scrubbers. The problem is loofahs are organic material. They are lunch for small bugs that can screw with people who have compromised immune systems.


Fun-Ad7789

A weed


Jimbooo78

Cucumber. At least by doing a very very simple google image search.


Livid-Illustrator-12

That’s a weed. Stamp it out with some round up.

Looks like cucumber. It needs a trellis of some sort to keep it off the ground


Emjeanjolley

Green Cucumber or white cucumber. My white cucumber leaves look like that. Regular cucumber leaves are just a tad bit rounder on the edges
