I used some compost in a flower bed this year and we had a squash come up. Damn vine got to be 25 or 30 feet long and had some butternuts on it. Mrs. NBP is "planning" on doing "something" with them. She'll forget and into the compost they'll go. Or maybe not, I have a corner where I throw all the pumpkin guts and dead pumpkins from Halloween and always have a couple plants come up. Get some
real interesting pumpkins from that.
A couple years ago we had a vine grow up into a crape myrtle that grew the nicest white pumpkin I've seen in awhile right at head height. I walked past that crape probably 500 times over the summer and never noticed it until almost Thanksgiving after the leaves came down.
Believe or not we still have a pumpkin from
last Halloween. I don't know what happened (it was supposed to be turned into some dish or other but was forgotten about) but the damn thing sat on the porch all winter through the summer and is still solid with zero soft spots or rot. I wanted to take it back to the farm where we got it and trade for a 2020 model but forgot to take it. We did tell the owners, who are friends anyway.
