Mystery Plants

I use compost in my garden and keep it in my garage in the winter. It's in a plastic trash can of all things. This method really does work! Don't tell my HOA. My strawberries are twice as tall as they were last year and the berries look larger and healthier. I have also heard that you let compost rest for a couple of weeks before you plant. I think I know why. These healthy plant germinated and I had no idea what they were.

I racked my brain... green beans...peppers... cantelopes...zuchinni...??? A seed popped up with the leaves today and now I know what all of these are: Walmart watermelon! I am kicking myself for not buying those organic ones at Whole Foods.

More Walmart watermelon!

So much for putting that in the compost... So I might leave them, in this raised box, since I read they do not cross pollinate with my Wisconsin melon. Maybe I'll be wrong, but it will be a wonderful experiment for the summer. I suppose they need to be thinned now.

I am playing with fabric too. Old methods... new fabric...

Just thought you might actually want to see something made with this fabric instead of those glorious stacks popping up all over the place. ;)
