The Volunteer

Volunteer: Botany A cultivated plant growing from self-sown or accidentally dropped seed.


This volunteer was found out in the flower bed in my front yard. I left it there to see what it would turn out to be. So far, I don't know. It doesn't look like anything I have grown before or am growing now. I currently have watermelons, cantaloupe, zuchinni, winter squash, gigantic pumpkins and pie pumpkins but this thing looks like none of those. Oh, and I have cucumbers too - but it's certainly not one of those!

I'll leave it until ripe (it pulls away from the vine) and open it then for my surprise.
