A few weeks ago I noticed a squash plant growing in the midst of the Fairy Garden flowers I had planted from seed. I'm thinking there may have been a stray seed in that packet, or perhaps it flew in from a nearby garden. In any case, it was doing quite well in the little corner of our yard despite the fact that the dogs seemed to favor that spot for potty breaks.
My Fairy Garden flowers are starting to die down now and I just noticed today that we've got a rather large green pumpkin. Not really large relative to the pumpkins you can pick up at the grocery store but it is big for me to just now be noticing that it was growing. (I guess that's how gardening goes when you have an infant :)) I'm rather pleased about the whole thing. I bought three little pumpkin starts on the day I ended up going into labor so they didn't make it into the ground for about a week. They've never grown and I thought we would be pumpkin-less again this fall. By the looks of it we are assured at least one!
