Maybe We Should Clean Up Our Yard More Often

So, apparently we have a watermelon vine in our backyard.

Because, while doing yardwork, my wife found a watermelon.

(Pretty sizeable one, too.)

Edit: It says something that at least three of the comments on this post are references to a movie that came out 27 years ago. "Unexpected watermelon" is apparently a picogenre.)

Yes, isn't it fun to find stuff like that. When we were working around our yard, we found a patch of wild strawberries, blueberry, blackberry and raspberry bushes. Who knows what will show up next year.

IDK it seems like that is an awesome reward for slackign on yard work.

You're sure it didn't fall out of an airplane?

That would explain the little parachute.

Team Banzai botanical agronomists have been for years hard at work on the problem of hunger in Third World countries under constant revolutionary turmoil. A nonpolitical, humanitarian effort, their goal has been to find ways to feed starving peoples in remote areas where traditional food delivery systems prove woefully inadequate. Often, the only way to get the nourishment into the bellies of the needy is to hit and run, avoiding all petty ideological side-taking. What you see in the Critical Stress Lab is a revolutionary watermelon capable of withstanding impact pressures of 300,000 pounds per square inch!

Heh...

We had a pumpkin grow in our Beverly yard from a seed left behind after a squirrel ate most of our Halloween pumpkin the year before.

I once found radishes growing atop a particularly dirty section of paved road. They weren't bad, but the right-angle growth made them hard to bite into.
