Plant ID?

u...
My dug in compost heap has produced some freebies in my garden bed. The
tomatoes I can ID but I have something else I don't know. It came up as
half a dozen plants with two roundish leaves, sitting opposite each other.
They've developed into a lot of very large leaves with a prickly feel.
I'll assume I'm looking at zucchini, watermelon or pumpkin. Any idea on
how I can tell?
probably not zucchini, as you'd have eaten the seeds? :-))
after i read your post the other day, i noticed i've got the exact same
thing - i put mounds of compost to plant the cucurbits in (like all the
experts say - and i like it so far!), so now the seedlings i raised are
surrounded by others!! i had it planned out so nicely, too...
i was going to wait to see what htey look like when bigger (to identify
them) & how they're going. i don't mind the interlopers, perhaps they'll
grow better than the others. ;-) any spares or duds can always be pulled
out, after all.
