What is it?

Any ideas (Ellyn)?

It sprouted from one of my garlic chive starters. I have two dinky garlic chive shoots and this monster.

The leaves are pretty hairy - which makes me think it's a mellon or squash of some sort. But the stalks aren't mellony.

And it's growing like crazy. The leaves are all larger than my hand already.

Any guesses?

It's probably a weed...darn.

  1. I'm not positive, but I think I you may be right about its weediness. I didn't want to say anything when you posted its picture in the "They're ALIVE!" post - but I was pretty sure at the time that it was not a garlic chive plant. (My chives look onion-grassy - are garlic chives different?) Still - maybe it will turn out to be a very pretty weed!
