Surprises

Corn

My first surprise was finding a stalk of corn growing out of what was an empty flower pot by the steps. A bird or a squirrel must have been responsible.

 

More Surprises


A few days later a tassel appeared on top.

 


My next surprise was this vine. I planted it as a little sprig
two years ago. It never grew -- just sat there being a
six-inch sprig all of last year and all of this Summer.
But when I got back from Burning Man, I was really surprised
to see it had found the trellis and grew like crazy. Next year I
will be expecting it to flower.
