I was watering my hostas when i noticed this plant next to them. Can anyone tell me what it is? I have only been in this house for a year and have not planted anything. Kind looks like a cucumber or squash plant right? Please ignore the weeds i have just been letting them do their thing lol

Thank you! I will be keeping an eye on it i am hoping something actually grows on it

It’s in the squash family. Could be a volunteer, or maybe a wild cucumber.
