Plant ID?
My dug in compost heap has produced some freebies in my garden bed. The
tomatoes I can ID but I have something else I don't know. It came up as half a dozen plants with two roundish leaves, sitting opposite each other. They've developed into a lot of very large leaves with a prickly feel. I'll assume I'm looking at zucchini, watermelon or pumpkin. Any idea on how I can tell? Liz |

Any idea on how I can tell? probably not zucchini, as you'd have eaten the seeds? :-)) after i read your post the other day, i noticed i've got the exact same thing - i put mounds of compost to plant the cucurbits in (like all the experts say - and i like it so far!), so now the seedlings i raised are surrounded by others!! i had it planned out so nicely, too... i was going to wait to see what htey look like when bigger (to identify them) & how they're going. i don't mind the interlopers, perhaps they'll grow better than the others. ;-) any spares or duds can always be pulled out, after all. kylie |
