Sometimes , all you need to do is manoeuver while nature drives .

Or , as in the case of these cantaloupe seedling , splash a rotten cantaloupe across the priming coat and wait .

you may see us establish these cantaloupes in a recent telecasting where Rachel and I make up one’s mind to see how crazy we could get with scattered seeds .

You always get the best pumpkin , melons and tomatoes from your compost pile . They seem to wish to sit around in the remnants of the previous twelvemonth ’s rot fruit .

Take this autumn pumpkin growing on our fence .

We did n’t imbed that . All I did was spot the little seedling there and make certain I missed it with the string trimmer . I have no idea what sort of pumpkin this is . It depend unlike than the tropic pumpkin leaves I ’ve seen . We had nothing to do with it . My guess is that the previous tenants fed the guts of a pumpkin to their chickens some time last year … and then the showery season arouse one of those seeds .

Splatter-planted-cantelopes

Since we ’re on the topic of serendipity , I was given some yard long been seeds by a protagonist . Since I injured my hand before I could finish the bean trellis , two of my boy finish it for me and then implant the seed . They have already started coming up and look beautiful .

Beside the bamboo bean plant trellis , the second generation of purple podded Roma beans are also emerge .

Our pastor also sacrifice us some Malabar prickly-seeded spinach cuttings and their vines are strain for the sky .

Pumpkin-on-fence

Quite a beautiful vegetable .

One net scrap of fun : if you have read my bookGrow or Die : The Good Guide to Survival Gardening , you in all likelihood remember the appendix on plant a garden from your pantry .

Just for the heck of it , I ’ve decided to present this idea in one of our garden beds .

Emerging-yard-long-bean

To do so , I corrupt a 13 bean soup mixture which is essentially a suitcase of dry out beans with a flavouring packet . I ’m going to plant them all in a garden bed presently … and createThe 13 Bean Soup Garden !

Why not ? My luck has held so far .

Except with a matchet .
