Volunteers

There is a benefit to being lazy and letting a few things to to seed in your garden. The seeds get buried and tilled in, and the next year they volunteer!
 

You can see at the end of my row of peppers there is a baby cantaloupe plant. There are three others in various places at the end of the garden where they grew last year. I know I missed harvesting a few small ones that went mushy, and now they have reproduced.

What doesn't belong? Beet, beet, beet, tomato, beet... I didn't even see it there until it was taller than the beets. I'll take it, since a few of my tomato plants broke off at the base in a big windstorm.

My yard always has sunflower seedlings in the summer. Usually I pull them up like weeds, but I left a few next to the garden to make it pretty.

And pretty it is!
