My daughter and I went on a walk and found a free propagated plant but not sure what it is or when it’s ready to be planted?

It kinda looks like some sort of squash or pumpkin plant. Whatever you do, don’t plant it into the ground, they get pretty extreme without boundaries. A bigger pot will do it good though I bet :)

I saw the second post, cantaloupe is also squash family along with watermelon so you will have a nice surprise soon haha

Heyyyy this kinda looks like my mystery plant! My mum thinks mine is possibly a cucumber, planta says watermelon. lol. (Whichever it is I hope my peony (shoot in the front centre) won’t be crowded out! The mystery plant is very much opportunistic, just plucked all the seedlings around the peony 2 days ago and there’s a new one coming up to the right. (But in the crazy plant person I am, I planted the mystery seedlings in their own mini pot 🤣🤣)

Eta: since there are some soon to be buds I’d put it in a bigger pot asap
