We had been enjoying a watermelon and spitting the seeds off the porch one summer. Later in the summer, a vine started to grow. It was obviously from one of the watermelon seeds. It eventually produced a nice, green melon. That melon eventually matured into a pumpkin.Mark Phttp://www.caniconfidimus.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12006171.post-65619357791407883772018-01-01T15:07:00.508-05:002018-01-01T15:07:00.508-05:00HELLOOOO FC!

It's a bit of a walk away from the house, which is a good thing in this case. Between recycling, composting, and a bit of legal burning (yes, very rural) we've no need for the trash collector.

Bananas grow there and lilies and other things, too, and my chickens love to scratch in all of that compostie goodness and thus- more fertilizer. I have a volunteer citrus of some sort growing as we speak. It is still quite small but has grown noticeably this year. Perhaps, if I am lucky, I will live long enough to see it grow into maturity and see exactly what it is I have. <br />Ms. Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09776404747858099919noreply@blogger.com
