I was just going to say cucumber - but it's a bit light coloured?!

Leaves look too big for cucumber. More like courgette?

See - I resisted the urge to make any rude and chilish jokes about the pic :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Could it be a peeled cucumber? http://www.inmagine.com/paa087/paa087000011-photo

I'd guess at a cucumber growing too in early stages. The leaves look the same in this pic.

Cucumbers are climbers, and this looks to be lying on the ground. Or not.

Could it be a Bottle Gourd see HERE

lorweld · 11 July 2009 at 9:42PM

could be!

Thanks

looks the most likely so far - only thing is that all the pics makes it look like the bottle gourd grows downwards from the plant though whereas the comp pic is lying on it's side... (can you tell I'm really not a plant person!!) ?
