Hi everyone,
I am new to gardening so please forgive me if my question seems odd. I planted cucumber seeds 2 months ago in my garden and was happy to see several sprouts. However, now I am not sure if this is a cucumber plant. It's growing in the same area as my other cucumber plants that have yellow flowers. This plant has pink flowers and the leaves don't look like a cucumber plant.
Can anyone tell me what is this plant?

I'm thinking Horse Mint? Does it smell kind of spicy/minty when crushed? The stems are square, correct?
I have this growing -- It's a weed and will spread, but bees and butterflies love this plant, so you may want to let them grow in out of the way area.
...on second thought -- the leaves are wrong -- should be shield shaped. Does it have any scent when crushed?
