Update on the mystery vines

If you remember reading this post, you'll remember that I promised to give regular updates on these awesome vines that are mysteriously growing in my garden.

As you can see, they're getting bigger, but because they have yet to produce a blossom, I still have no idea what the future blossoms will turn into. Although I'm holding out for some type of melon, due to my watermelon AND cantalope plants both withering away for no apparent reason.

Here is one of the tomato plants that also spontaneously appeared from the compost spreadings. This poor little plant will soon be dwarfed by the rapidly growing zucchini plant behind it. This one may require transplanting. . .

Again, I'll keep you posted.

Those look like pumpkin or squash vines to me. But, what do I know?

I believe we have exactly that same vine growing beside our compost. Come check it out while you're in town! Seems likely it's pumpkin.

My mom Grows pumpkins usually every year and that's exactly what they look like. Hope they turn out great.
