In the spring I had a couple of pumpkin vines pop up in my compost heap. The recent rains have really gotten this vine growing and I have to trim it off the electric fence daily. It seems to grow about 6 inches every day! I think it's going to eat my shed!
I'm not entirely certain it is a pumpkin vine. I'm starting to wonder if it's a Hubbard Squash or a mix of a few different things. Some of the fruits look like pumpkin, some hubbard squash, and some acorn squash? We will have to wait and see but there are tons of little fruits on it. Whatever it is, it's doing better than the ones I actually planted out in the veggie garden!
Droopy I had a watermelon plant (yellow meated) come up in my compost one year we had about 25 melon .They grow lots better than in a mixture of dirt and compost.
My mystery vine is still growing at a crazy rate. Here is today's shot, taken just 3 days after the first photos. You can see how it is starting to eat my composter! From the back side-inside the paddock after I trimmed it off the electric fence again Finally a mystery is solved! Pumpkins and Squash I hope my neighbors like Squash ... there are tons!
