Volunteer Squash

When we dug our new long bed we added some of the compost from the house to the aerated soil. Little did we know there were a number of squash seeds in the compost - lots of squash seeds - acorn squash to be exact. After pulling up about two dozen of these little seedlings (some from the bed and some from the compost pile itself) we have left a coupe alone to see what they will do. Tine calls these volunteer squash since they decided to come up all on their own.
