As it turns out, that’s exactly what my plant ended up being. I just assumed it was watermelon because I remembered putting lots of melon waste in the bed. I forgot that I had put a fair amount of squash waste in there as well.

I put lots of squash waste in the worm bins last winter, then used the compost this spring to repot all my houseplants (I’m an apartment dweller). Now I have squash seedlings popping up EVERYWHERE! But I love squash, so I am not too disappointed. I repotted some of them and they are flowering like crazy, just hope I will get some little squashes out of them this winter. 🙂 Yay for unintended consequences!

I checked out your post about the 94 year old gardener – WOW!!
You sure that guy isn’t eating the stuff?? He looks like he’s about 25 years younger.

Anyway – thanks for stopping by, and for sharing that1

Don’t you just LOVE castings? I put a yard of castings in my yard…hehe…and the plants have all been going NUTS! I already have full grown, ripe pumpkins, zuccini plants about 15 yards long…it is amazing! Obviously this is an educational opportunity. If the rest of the world knew about castings, synthetic fertilizers would go away(Sweet)!

I even met a 94 year old gardener that lives nearby that does his own yard waste composting, and worm composting. You can always tell the gardeners that use natural methods…they have the largest, yields and the freakishly large fruits and veggies!

Take a look, I took pictures of my friends garden: http://thewormdude.com/worm-blog/johnthe-incredible-94-years-young-gardener/
