Hi Hive gardeners,
In our 1 hectare organic veggie garden we discovered this cucumbur in the greenhouse:
We have never seen this before in 10 years. Sure it is a seedling and not a leaf growing out of a cover cell , is it ? What do you think? Should we open it up?
But there was more
We also disturbed a Hazelworm (=Dutch) (Anguis fragilis) but had seen that one before although not 30 cm as this one was.
"Anguis fragilis is a reptile native to Eurasia. It is also called a deaf adder, a slowworm, a blindworm, or regionally, a long-cripple, to distinguish it from the Peloponnese slowworm. These legless lizards are also sometimes called common slowworms."
We do have a video but not a clear picture so I copy a web picture.
What an exciting week so far!
hasta luego

Well as per that cucumber @goldrooster, it may be the best if you allow it grow, than to open it. But remeber that it is the siddling inside the tuber that is growing that leaf, and if you want to extract and replant that very siddlings it might be better.
that cucumber wants to fly away ;D
