Pro bono pumpkins



Many pumpkins at our house have met their maker as unwitting fodder for our backyard Halloween and Thanksgiving pumpkin tosses, as reluctant additions to the compost pile, or as jack-o-lanterns that simply decompose in place. Happily, the result has been a steady supply of volunteer pumpkin seedlings, often in places we least expect.










Nestled between re-homed Agapanthus and Aloe, this soon-to-be-pumpkin was 10 inches across, and looked more like a lazy starfish than a blossom on a volunteer vine.
