Cucumber

Honey Dew

This post was meant to be published back in the early spring, as are many of these posts, :/ Initially, when my zucchini, cucumber, and honey dew were planted I could not tell them apart. They all come up fairly quickly. They all sport a cluster of large leaves. Their leaves all look green, large, and corrugated. Upon closer look, you can differentiate each plant by the shape of their leaves.

Cucumber has a heart shape to their leaves, so to speak. They have sharp points.

Honey Dew, on the other hand, have more of a ruffled look to their shape. They offer many sharp points, instead of one main point.

Zucchini eventually crop up into long stems. I will admit though, they are a bit confusing when they first produce their leaves.
