Found this is growing in my veg patch among the beetroot. Its self seeded. It looks like a member of the cucurbit family. Any ideas?

Looks a bit like a small Courgette, are the leaves leathery?

Could be courgette alright. Might be too too late in season for it to fruit. Was thinking it might be cucumber as its got tendrils. Will see how it goes.
