My garden has a MIND of it's OWN! I love my garden, but every day I go out there and laugh. So, hopefully I can explain this so that everyone can truly appreciate the humor.
This season I planted carrots, brussell sprouts, zucchini, squash, and cucumber... nothing else. I did, however, have 3 existing, well established bell pepper plants.
I did not; however, plant this lettuce (or the 3 other heads I have growing in my garden). I planted lettuce last fall.
This watermelon plant... it just showed up this month. I had watermelon last spring.
These 3 additional bell pepper plants... they are new.
And the follow tomato plants... they are the result of Brandon cutting up an old tomato and throwing it into the garden to help the soil... ha ha! There are 3 large plants, and I'm still pulling new tomato plants out all the time
I have figured that if it isn't a weed, I'll let the plant grow a bit (assuming it's not in a weird location) until I know what it is. Then I'll decide to keep it or pull it. I have pulled several lettuce plants, additional watermelon plants, and tomato. They just keep coming. Speaking of things that are coming... I see a harvest in my future. Check out how beautiful the flowers on the zucchini plant are. I didn't take a picture of the squash, but we have several that are getting pretty big!
Hello cucumber! (The plant is blooming like crazy, and I have spotted 2 other cucumbers about this size)
And hello bell peppers... I think there are about 30, and some of them are already turning colors (we have 1 yellow, 1 red, and 1 orange bell pepper plants)
Yum! I think it's going to be a yummy summer!

That's awesome. The only surprise plants I have in my garden are flowers from the previous owner. But, I will say, my garden boggles my mind too. I was out taking pictures of mine this morning. We don't have much, but what we do have is unusually large. Take, for instance, the zucchini we picked today. It's about 14 inches long and fatter in diameter than Clara's leg. But the only other two we have on any of the plants are smaller than a pickle. I love gardening!
