Pumpkins in the Landscape

Yesterday I visited a landscape planted last week.  While photographing the landscape I noticed the oddest site.

Nestled between a Siberian Carpet (Microbiota decussata) and PJM Rhododendron (Rhododendron ‘PJM’) was a thriving pumpkin seedling.

How could this happen?

The compost used to prepare the soil was the composting spot of several years of Holden family pumpkins.  The moist soil and ample sun in the new landscape set the seed in motion.

Happy Halloween!
