Garden Mystery: Solved (somewhat)

I think we have solved the mystery plant puzzle. I believe it is a pumpkin/gourd. Here is a picture. What do you think? We have a few of them springing up everywhere in the greenhouse. It is growing so much that it is pushing the potted plants off the shelves.

Is it a gourd or a pumpkin?

In any case, the greenhouse is so full we cannot even walk in there anymore.

We also have a few things popping up in the garden.

Garlic Top Bulb looking down at it

So, this is looking down at the garlic. If you don’t cut the garlic scape as we did earlier in the spring, apparently it creates this bulb on TOP of the plant that looks just like a miniature bulb except it has all these little seed like things coming from it. It’s weird the things you learn in the garden.

And of course, what would a garden post be without a picture of some chickens! 😉

At Ground Level

I threw out a watermelon rind for the chickens and they went over to munch on it. I tried to get a picture, but when I got close, they would scatter, so I layed in the grass and watched. Kitty mosied on over and sat right in front of me. So I got this great picture of the chickens in the background and Kitty in the foreground. The world is much different at ground level.

Then they got curious and wanted to see what I was doing in the grass, so I caught them on video as they wandered around the yard. They are getting so big! I remember when they were baby chicks and we could hold all three in our hands at once.
