I pulled up all the plants at the end of summer ‘24, made a pile, and started putting all my food scraps in it. Every day I have something new pop up in it!

    Would yall eat the stuff that grows from your compost?

    You need to learn what vegetables are. They are rather obvious.

    Don’t eat mystery squash!

    They cross pollinate very easily and some decorative squash are toxic.

    It’s called Toxic Squash Syndrome

    Different kinds of pumpkins. If they are not extremely bitter they should be edible.

  7. I have found pumpkin and zucchini magically grow in compost

    I get some kind of surprise vegetable in my compost heap every year. It’s fun just seeing what pops up next.

    Zucchini and yellow squash.there’s two different plants there.

    You’ve got wild squashes, also called Sasquash, or Big Food. They are mysterious and shy, so you are very lucky to have spotted these.

    Couple of those look pretty similar to zephyr squash.

    I had similar surprises in my main compost pile. Squash and tomatoes for me. Similar story: the line to my septic tank broke last year so I had to dig it up and fix it (🤮). A few weeks later, tomatoes seedlings started appearing where I buried the line. I didn’t realize how resilient seeds were before that, but that is literally why the plants produce the fruits!
