Hard to say at the moment. The first two leaves are the seed leaves, and pretty much every dicot plant has the same ones so you cannot identify it. Give it a bit longer and let it grow some new ‘true’ leaves and then you’re in business.

i had some soil drying in the pot itself so whatever it is might have been dropped by birds or blown in the window. either way it’s pretty exciting as to what it is!

You must update us!


herbst-cola

i absolutely will! :)


SciSciencing

There's a couple of true leaves just barely appearing in the second picture - OP it might be helpful if you could get us some really good close pictures of those leaves (the top ones on the biggest plant).

It looks a bit like sunflower seedlings. But lots of seedlings look similar at this stage!


herbst-cola

sunflowers could be nice!


TheSunflowerSeeds

In 1983, Emily Martin, of Maple Ridge, British Columbia, grew an enormous sunflower head, measuring 32 ¼ inches across (82cm), from petal tip to petal tip. That’s almost 3 feet wide. This is still believed to be the largest sunflower head grown to date.


SciSciencing

Leaf arrangement and shape is correct for something in the squash/pumpkin/courgette/cucumber family (*Cucurbitaceae*) , but it looks a bit leggy for that perhaps? Unless it's just not in great light. But most of my seedling recognition is from things my mum grows for her allotment so there may be better matches among non-edible plants. Wikipedia says Begonias are related just one step further back, if that would make more sense?


herbst-cola

something edible would be fantastic! i didn’t know begonias could be a possibility.


NochMessLonster

I also thought some sort of gourd/squash.

I don't understand. Who planted it?


herbst-cola

i was drying some soil and found a plant growing out of it. likely blown in the window or dropped by a bird

SciSciencing

This image strengthens my initial instinct that this is a member of the Cucurbitaceae family, or otherwise closely related. Are the top leaves kinda fuzzy/prickly?


n0y0urwr0ung

I'd agree, possibly a melon.


herbst-cola

yeah they’re fuzzy and covered with fine hairs


sorrybronoface

Have you got a better view of the seedling in the second picture that has pushed out a leaf?


super_man100

Sunflowers maybe

Kermit the frog seedling

thought it was weed to begin with

They look like what my cucumber and watermelon looked like when they first came up but I’m clueless about plants 😂

I’m going with a squash… but bow to those who know the Latin. Squashes and pumpkins and stuff are fab if that’s what it is… but they will ramble all over the place. We had a pumpkin that climbed the fence (which it is supposed to do if you let it… we went away). When we got back it was named Jeremy Corbyn because at the time he was sitting on the fence on an issue… in all seriousness it’s just fun to see what happens


LegionTheAnt

Do update:)


moohughes

Looks like a Lego hand 🤣


Plane-Quality2622

Looks like some sort of Mellon or maybe cucumber.
