tomato, one of many

a really charming thing happens around springtime in the baron's yard. the husband, after the last frost, takes compost from their bins and spreads it all over the vegetable beds. soon thereafter, seeds that have survived their time in the bin start sprouting -it's like a happy accident, a gift. invariably, every year they've made their own compost, the baron and the husband have had rogue tomato plants all over the yard. the baron was happy to move them from their sprouting places to pots or into beds, and so far it's working out just fine. this year they got a random melon plant, it may even be a pumpkin or a cucumber. only time will tell!
