I take after my Aunty Eileen in that I have started saving seeds from everything we use in the kitchen and then I throw them in to the garden or a planter so what will happen and then I forget about it.
A mysterious vine like plant appeared in one of my flower beds that provoked numerous discussions about its identity. I was convinced it was a grapevine, Mad Norman (not to be confused with the Mad German) thought it was a melon and Raja really didn't have a clue.
The plant must have taken exception to being accused of being a grape because the following day it produced a small yellow flower that ended all speculation. It is a cucumber plant that is now growing vigorously around a tree in the garden and is producing cucumbers faster than we can eat them.
The only problem is that there is a particular fly that also seems to love cucumbers and keeps impregnating them with its eggs UGH!
Now all my cucumbers are wearing condoms!
