Volunteer canteloupe by the veg garden and castor bean plant by the frog pond
I tolerate a few volunteers in and around the gardens. This canteloupe has really taken over its sunny side near the compost heap, though, swallowing Miren's bench and a gooseberry bush in the process. And the castor bean, I knew, would/could reach 8-12', but I simply assumed that meant in tropical (native) conditions. Next year I will plant it a bit further back...it is kind of sheltering the stachys, buddliea and echinacea at its feet. Must be the heat and the rain, right?
