What’s growing in my garden? I didn’t plant it. It’s just doing it’s thing. It’s also become one with the mystery tomato plant growing beside/in/on it.

Here’s a picture of the flower if that helps

Everything about this plant is comically oversized

    That’s an acorn squash. They’re great baked with a little butter or margarine and maple syrup.

      Awesome, I had terrible luck starting seeds this year. At least I have something to harvest this year other than cucumbers, tomatoes and red mustard leaves.

      My chaos garden is full of surprises this year

        Before you cook them, try a small piece an check that it isn’t bitter.
        (Becoming bitter and poisonous can happen to any squash, cucumber or pumpkin not grown from original seed)
        If it isn’t bitter, it’s fine.
