This happy pumpkin vine is the result of throwing last autumn’s front porch decorations over the fence to compost the flower beds. The result is a cluster of very healthy pumpkin vines. Since they began to sprout in May, I may have ripe pumpkins by August–a little early for fall decorating. Still, a happy accident.
