There are some plants we didn't recognize growing in the flowerbeds out front. A friend of ours who stopped by a few days ago saw them and asked us why we're growing pumpkins. We were a little taken aback and then we realized—my wife left the Halloween pumpkin (which we didn't carve) out on the stoop long after Halloween and eventually the squirrels and chipmunks ate it. They must have buried the seeds all over the place because there are several of the leaves that our friend identified as pumpkins. The contractor who just replaced our driveway and put down pavers alongside it (works for a landscaping company) recognized them as pumpkins as well. We decided to leave them to see what we get.
