Re: it was supposed to be a melon...
thats a weed, I remember pulling one last year. I think its called velvet leaf? I did the same thing let it grow grow grow until someone was like YANK that!!!
Re: it was supposed to be a melon...
Wow Chocolatepop! Excellent! It's not a bad idea to pull that sucker before it makes seed! Here is some info about Velvet leaf

There are certain pursuits which, if not wholly poetic and true, do at least suggest a nobler and finer relation to nature than we know. The keeping of bees, for instance. ~ Henry David Thoreau

Re: it was supposed to be a melon...
Dont compost either. Some said burn it because it is so crazy in some areas :o
Re: it was supposed to be a melon...
Sounds prolific enough that we need to find a way to eat it !!

What a shame - it's beautiful in the picture!! I've never seen it in this part of Washington (Tri-cities area). I'll have to ask my hubby - he sees lots of farms on his job.

From the Link above
BeneficialBeneficial: Velvetleaf was used as a fiber crop in
China since 2000 B.C. The stem and branches of velvetleaf produce long strong fibers used
for cord, rope, binder twine, fishing nets, coarse cloth, paper and a caulk for boats
(Mitich 1991; Spencer 1984). The seeds are eaten in China and Kashmir (Spencer 1984).
Garden Girl, I think I may have pulled it out from our yard (The Tri) once or twice, growing in the middle of the grass. If not it was something that looked similar. I remember thinking, why is a pumpkin plant growing in the middle of the grass? lol
