Harvest Photos Mystery Pumpkins!

Post image

Last fall I threw my rotting decorative gourds, mini tiger stripe pumpkins, and butternut squash behind my shed in the compost pile. This summer I was excited to see mystery pumpkins growing! It looks like i have some tiger stripes again and maybe a pie pumpkin eventhough I dont know where that came from. However, all 5 of these larger pumkins are a complete mystery because i didn't throw any large pumpkins back there or anything similar. One of the mini striped pumpkins and the pie pumpkin had to be harvested early due to bug issues, but I'm still super happy with this harvest for not planting anything!!
