volunteer squash

volunteer butternut 032 Here's the fruit on the volunteer squash plant that came up in the middle of my onion patch. Looks yummy! A big buttercup. Another one is forming now. The vine is enormous. I think I may save seeds from these vigourous squashes. (Then I can pant them where I want them next year.)

Its been hot here in Hamilton Ont. this post makes me laugh, the two neighbours at the community plot have these. I tried to grow watermelon this year my crimson watermelon is now bigger than there squash, got one full month before frost i am praying for a couple of big watermelons. Going down there today with the video cam to film them in case anything happens to them.

I love volunteers! I have a volunteer tomato that has grown in full shade. I transplanted it to a sunnier spot 2 weeks ago. It's the middle of winter here and the plant is nearly a foot tall! Can't wait till it warms up and I find out what sort of tomato it is.
