surprise, surprise

Our first surprise came after nursing an orchid plant for 3 years we finally have flowers! I think Jeff and I had just about given up the task of orchid growing when this this happened.



well worth the wait.

The second surprise came about a month ago when this started growing out of our compost. We decided to let the zucchini plant continue to grow in the compost and just use the other side. We lovingly named it Zuchzilla when it took over almost the whole side of the house.




So last night I went to check the progress of the fruit when...surprise! Zuchzilla is growing pumpkins!
