Volunteers

Every night when it's time to feed the animals, it looks like calling the starving to a bowl of soup. We simply step outside and whistle, prompting 3 cats, 1 dog and 2 horses to come running, each making the sounds of their native tongue. It's quite humorous.

Well, the other day as I followed everyone to the barn, something yellow caught my eye in what we call the "calf pasture" (we had 2 calves here last summer and separated a section of the horse pasture for them) Upon closer inspection, here is what I found:

Some volunteer pumpkins growing under and on top of a huge stump. Yes, this is where we threw out our pumpkins last year, but why would they just start growing now? Why weren't they ready over a month ago like normal pumpkins? Who knows. But I do know that we have 2 that are already yellowy-orange, one that's half orange-half green and 2 more that are still green. I doubt they'll do anything more, as we've been in the low-20s the past few nights. Vegetables don't normally like that. Anyway, there are 5 pumpkins out there. I say that's almost a harvest. Can I claim that I successfully grew a garden this year?

Yes, it totally qualifies as a garden.

The same thing happened to us this year except it was a few tomato plants. Crazy, right?
