I saw something beside my compost bin as I was washing dishes. With a bag of fresh banana and onion peels in my hand I went out to investigate. There, growing out of the compost bin, was a squash plant. Deer had eaten most of the leaves of the squash plant but I did have one butternut squash growing. How awesome is that? I didn't buy butternut squash seeds. I didn't plant this plant. Last winter, when I was cold and in need of a low calorie warm soup, I bought a butternut squash. I threw the seeds and the rind in the compost. At least one butternut squash seed must have liked the compost environment and decided to propagate. Free squash for me!
