I am not sure if you recall .... last winter .... I posted some pies I baked for the holidays and set it up on the counter with some pumpkins, apples, cranberries, etc.

Seems I never got around to making the pumpkin into something, so I set it out in the backyard so it wouldn't rot on the counter before I could get it into the compost pile.

There she sat all winter .... shriveled, covered in oak leaves and promptly forgotten.

Well, I was raking the oak leaves and discovered the shriveled pumpkin proudly nourishing tons of tiny baby pumpkin seedlings!

Looks like I have a pumpkin patch now!
