APPARENTLY, the garden didn't get the memo.
Opening my compost pile, what do I see?
Yep, those looks like some kombucha squash (seedlings now) husband and I ate some time ago. I had saved the seeds for another time when squash growing was more favorable, but apparently I missed a few/need to turn the compost pile. Man, these guys are straining to get some light. AND boy, do I want to let them grow out the compost pile....mmmmm Japanese squashiness.
But gah. Can you imagine how terrible it would be to have squash vine borers lay in your compost pile?! TURN PILE! TURN!
The garden can't stop dropping hints though!
Yep, them be some self seeded cucumber seedlings. For reals Garden? You know that the husband doesn't even like cucumber!
So... shall I "let things be?" or become Persephone, SQUASH DESTROYER?

Very funny post.
Can't you transfer the seedlings from the compost pile.
Since they decide to grow... go ahead, and give them a chance.
Best wishes,
Anna
Hey Anna! I could transfer them form the compost pile, but I really shouldn't be growing squash anyways to encourage them... and too late about the squash seedlings, I turned the pile and excavated some seriously awesome compost!
