A few months ago a vine like plant started growing in one of my veggie beds. Ever curious to see what was growing I let it grow. A small green fury ball started to form from a lovely yellow flower. The flower was much like the one growing from my Burpless Cucumber. I started to think what I had placed in the compost that had decided to germinate. I know a lot of Jack O Lantern Pumpkin seed went in from last Halloween ( yes I like to carve a pumpkin or 3 every October)or perhaps the mountain of watermelon from all the juicing i did over Summer. Maybe a Cantaloupe....
Sure it's easy to tell from the last photo that it is more than likely a Honeydew, but that first photo really had me going. I still had not quite figure it out by the second photo (taken about 3-4 weeks after the first photo) today I'm going with
Honeydew.
As it is now Autumn I will only leave it grow for about another 2-3 weeks before it gets too cold. It already has a great hollow sound when I tap it.
