What's growing in my garden? I didn't plant it. It's just doing it's thing. It's also become one with the mystery tomato plant growing beside/in/on it.

Here's a picture of the flower if that helps

Everything about this plant is comically oversized

Acorn squash. Seeds will survive compost a lot.

I didn't add compost to this garden bed this year. I did throw all the household's veggie scraps into that bed during the winter so it likely came from there.

My new compost pile is even lazier this summer as I just throw layers of veggie scraps with layers of greens from my garden cuttings. I'm pretty sure there's more seeds in that pile somewhere.

Whatever happens, happens. Surprises are fun :)

Isn't that how Poltergeist 1 started?
