Anyone Wants A Pumpkin?

I mean the plant. Yeah, the pumpkin plant.

These days, miracles are everywhere. About 2-3 weeks ago I found unknown species of plants growing everywhere in the garden, including in my vegetable bed. Dad told me they should be some sort of vege as well. A few days later we realised, those are pumpkins. And where did they come from? The kitchen wastes that I buried randomly in the garden to make compost. @.@

It was mainly because mum included the seeds in the unwanted pumpkin skin from her kitchen. I obviously didn’t realise that they could grow so fast and so easily and just popped everything in the garden. Now I start to wonder if the egg shells we buried will give us chicks… LOL!

Anyway, as at least one of them didn’t make it when I transplanted them, I have counted and we should have a total of 6 healthy pumpkin plants growing in our humbly small garden space. So if you live in Penang and would like to try your hands on some homegrown pumpkins, contact me and I shall transplant the younger seedlings to a pot and pass it to you. The bigger ones most probably already have their roots set so I don’t think it’s good to transplant anymore.

And while we are at miracles, 2 weeks ago when I was in the garden, thinking how my two other containers of compost were, I opened up one of them and got myself into a shocked-mode.

Another unknown plant growing in the container, with no sun and water for over 2 months. Crazy. @.@

We later figured that this is a ginger plant (or whatever you call it), which, obviously came from the kitchen again. Gonna transplant to a bigger pot and let it grow. :)
