Continual surprise


We at first thought we had a watermelon--it started off green and stripey and we did plant watermelon. But now it is turning a nice orange color, all over. Now we are thinking that we have a pumpkin.

Only we didn't plant any pumpkins. We craved them for last year's Halloween and composted the inerds. Of course we then fertilized our garden this season with that compost, but that would be weird that we got only one pumpkin plant, considering how seedy all 5 of our craved pumpkins were.

So, the garden continue to surprise us, even at this late stage.

After Andrew's comment of how this part of the yard was called the "dead zone" by his parents and he when they were first living in the house, he was wholly impressed that we could get so much to grow in that section. Therefore, I guess that our abundance of tomatoes and viney things means that we have the green thumbs, even for stuff we didn't necessarily know we were planting.

We are that talented.
