Mystery Plant, What is it?

Forums: 

I had a plant just pop up in my system and i have no idea what it might be, it's nothing like anything i planted. Could this have been a rogue seed in one of my packets of seeds. AT any rate, i'm looking for some identification

Did it look like the other seeds you planted?  What did you plant?

Sage, Lemon basil, rosmery, cilantro, parsley, and spinach (none of which sprouted)

Looks like a cucumber from the top but it's not.  The stem throws that idea out the window.  Looks healthy though, lol.

What did this turn out to be in the end?  Just curious.

turned to to die after i was on vacation for the weekend and my cat turned off my power strip to my hydroponics system. Everything died, so unfortunately the mystery remains!

Hey, that might be okra.  I asked a few people and they asked a few.  

Look at this link: http://www.google.com/imgres?num=10&hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=02P&rls=or...

It does kinda look like okra, does okra have little beads of clear stuff on the stalk and underside of the leaves? if so i think we found the mystery plant and found that it grows rather well in hydroponics with basil and cilantro!!  Thanks for helping out, i didn't even really know where to go with this question. I'll keep you posted if it flowers or sprouts any type of fruit/veg.

If t is okra, take good care of it.  I never saw it in hydroponics.  Would be cool.
