| Ok don't laugh. My elderly Dad helps me with our vegetable garden. So he decided to do planting for me. So everything is fine until the seeds start sprouting. What he has marked as sugar snap peas has come up as what you see in the picture. My husbands swears it's going to be cucumbers but I think I unearthed an early seedling and it had some kind of bean or pea on it. Now, if pulled up there is no seed left. The two rows next to these rows are clearly sugar snap peas. So I have no idea what these are. Anyone want to take a shot? It should be some kind of bean or pea. He knows enough about gardening to recognize a squash of cucumber seed from a pea/bean seed. But he has dementia so anything is actually possible. I have two more photos. |

| It is a cucurbit. Cucumber, squash, cantaloupe. Picture is not clear enough for these old eyes to differentiate. |

| Yep, cucumber. Some form of squash would be my back-up idea, but looks a lot like my cucumbers that are about the same age right now. |
|
| Yep. Definitely cucurbit. Odd though. The bottom leaf looks cucumber, but the top leaf looks sorta zucchini or squash because of the size compared to the other. Maybe it's just the angle of the pic? Kevin |

| Definitely some kind of cucurbit, as Farmerdill already said and I agree with. 60% cucumber. |

| I was thinking that exact same thing, Kevin. Bottom leaf looks very much like it belongs to a cucumber. Rodney |
