My husband made me a large side by side compost bin / potato box a couple of years ago that was actually featured in Mother Earth News. Well, this year I was busy and didn't get around to shifting it out. There was a bumper crop of Roma and Cherry tomatoes that popped up on their own as well as some cucumber plants. I decided to let them be. Then ... a big old squash plant started growing. I had no idea what it would be. Maybe a pumpkin? Today I was pulling out the spent plants and came across this monster! Still don't know what it is. Maybe spaghetti squash?

Zuchini on steroids. Maybe peel the outer layer off and use the inner to make a bread? I used to make rellish with monters like this that people would give me.

Aren't compost great !!

We get volunteers all the time & they do better than the bought plants.
