    Out of those three..I would guess that it's a pepper plant. It doesn't look like a tomato or cucumber plant to me...but there are so many different varieties of plants in the world,I could easily be wrong.

    Looks like strawberry to me. Look for small white flowers.

    No. Basil doesn't have a barky stem like that. See the brown?

    yeah, basil also has smooth edges (at least all the varieties I've grown).... It does kinda look like strawberry.

    i dont think it could be strawberry or mint just becuse i didnt planted any of those. Like i told you i think it was only tomato, pepper, cucumber, and if my memory doesnt fail me apple.

    Out of those 3, I'd say cucumber. But only because I know for sure that it's not tomatoe or pepper. It's not any of them, though. It's either a weed or you've got some seeds in there that you weren't expecting. If you put any compost on it that you made out of vegetable scaps, than who knows what you have in there? Wait until it flowers and show it to us again. Cucmbers would have largish yellow flowers.

    It could be mint by the picture.

    It looks like it might be a tree seeding - perhaps a beech or other poplar type. These seeds travel by wind and could have just blown in made itself at home.

    It is not a strawberry, nor a cuke. Cukes have large cotelition leaves and large spear head shaped regular leaves. Strawberries have leaves in threes, and don't look like this. Basil is much different.

    It's a weed, dear. Most likely an elm seedling. They spread like crazy and pulling them NOW before they get strong roots is best for you and your garden.

    It is definitely not mint (the leaves would be more heart-shaped) and it's definitely not strawberry (they aren't woody).

    humm...its def not pepper tomato or cucumber.... looks like a sappling tree... possibly apple but anything could have seeded itself in your pot... just have to let it grow... and if its a tree youve struck gold...plant it somewhere special so you can look at it everyday and remember how lucky it was to land in your pot...:)
