    Leaves look too big for cucumber. More like courgette?

    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. :confused:

    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!!) ?
