Oh, there's another...and another...and another...

I noted a few days back that I had found a self-seeded pumpkin in my front garden where I added in my compost while trying to add nutrients to my sandy soil. Well, it seems that every day I go out there, there are more and more! I have now counted 5 plants growing. It was quite timely with re-reading a section in the Home Permaculture Garden by Linda Woodrow a few days back and glanced upon a bit where she wrote that she doesn't plant pumpkin seeds as she has sufficient crop up by themselves from her compost which she just replants elsewhere. So it seems we may have heaps of pumpkins this year along with the seedlings I've grown myself.
