Sitting in my tree stand on a nice fall day waiting for a deer to come by.

I just discovered a funny thing. I have a pumpkin plant growing in a box, in which I did not plant pumpkins last year, and only once in the year before last.

As far as I know, pumpkins do not volunteer from root fragments, and It can't be a seed that sprouted because we've had two killing winters since then. When I did grow pumpkins in that box, none of the fruiting happened in the box, so it can't be from a fruit that I overlooked at harvest time.

Can't wait to watch this happen! Did a bird steal a seed from my neighbor's garden and drop it in mine?

Maybe.
I suspect Nature has programed most seeds to be hardier than we expect.
Also that some seeds out of each year's crop will have "time delay" to sprout 2-3 years later in case the majority of current crop didn't survive a harsh growing season/conditions.

Amazing! So maybe one seed survived two winters, one of which offered steady temps below -30°, in a box above ground! I can't wait to see the pumpkins! I'd imagine that a seed that hardy would be genetically pretty strong!

I've got the largest potato plant I've ever seen, sprouted from a spud that I neglected to dig up last year, which made it through -20° temps last winter! Again, in a raised box! Can't wait to see them 'taters!

Maybe I'll try purposely leaving some potatoes in the ground this season.

It may not be much stronger, generally, just had a gene that programs for delayed sprouting, gaped for a year or two later.

Potato left in ground and dug up at end of next year's season may not yield any more and/or larger potatoes than usual. Such is claim of my wife who is the gardener here.

I would love to have a clean acre of land with a house. But I've been stuck in apartments all my adult life and never been able to afford the luxury of having my own place.

I'd love to have flowers, a small bee hive, a few chickens, rabbits, cats, and turkeys.

I'd love to grow squash, melons, asparagus, pumpkins, pears, and peaches.

I'd also be extremely happy with my own pumpkin farm.
