As the summer winds to a close, I have to take a break from the baby blogging and talk about gardening for a few minutes. For several years now, I've tried to have a little garden and we've had varying levels of success with tomatoes, rhubarb, a couple of tiny strawberries and one very robust zucchini plant. At this point in our lives, neither nor Glenn nor I have the time to devote to a large garden so we make do with some veggies in pots and flowers who can look after themselves. This year was no different, except for one notable exception. Meet the biggest plant we've ever grown.
Looks good, yes? Full leaves, dark green fruit,
errr... vegetable...
errr squash? Maybe its a watermelon?
Even better? It's growing out of our compost bin. It's self-sufficient, doesn't need watering, clearly gets nutrients from watermelon rinds and moldy peaches. At last count, it had about 12 blossoms and two fruit. We've had a few cold nights this month but it keeps going strong.
The only problem? WE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT IS!
