Veggie ID
People cry because they are sad. For example, I cry because other people are stupid, and that makes me sad.

Re: Veggie ID
The angle of the picture makes it hard to make out the exact shapes. Take a better picture. Do you know ANYTHING about it?
My initial guess is that it's in the Cucurbitaceae family if we limit our options to more commonly gardened veggies. Plant ID is not my thing though. Whatever it is, it doesn't look like anything I've grown unless those leaves are broader than they appear in the picture...

Re: Veggie ID
Just have to wait and see what it grows into I guess.

Re: Veggie ID
looks like UBE (purple) it is a starchy root crop plant can grow from a small seed that comes from flowers. Generally grows in tropical areas. It also looks like it could be a Yam or a bean of some sort..
