Another identifying question?

Hi All,

I checked my Hotbin this morning and found these seedlings growing, they look like some kind of pumpkin seed/melon seed etc - does anyone have any idea what they could be and if I could potentially lift them from the compost and plant them up?

    I have no idea what they are... what did you put in?

    As for rescuing them, I wouldn't. They are rather etiolated from lack of light, you don't know what they are and whatever they are, they may not breed true.

    But, I admire your MSE skills. I admit to rescuing plants from the tip when I recycle my garden waste, I always look at what someone else is tipping... got a lovely different Aucuba from someone's waste cuttings ..

    The only thing I can think they can be is galia melon seeds and I haven't put anything else in there?
