This summer we have had the pleasure of watching pumpkins grow from our compost bin. Last winter, sometime in November, we tossed the pumpkins that we had for Halloween into the compost bin. To our surprise we got several plants sprouting in late Spring. After transplanting some of the plants around the garden, we now have about 10 pumpkins that will be displayed around our house this season. Here are some pictures.... Check out the one growing out of the compost bin.
The sunflowers have been guarding the vines.
In the front yard we have tomatoes growing next to the pumpkins, at the base of the sunflower.
The picture with the scarecrow was taken behind the playhouse. The plants make a great view from out of the back windows.
