Surprises

One of my favorite things about gardening are volunteer plants - Surprises! I haven't been gardening for long, but in my short time working the ground I have received several surprise volunteer plants. Watermelon, Strawberries, Potatoes, Green Onions and list goes on. Sometimes they're seeds I planted and completely forgot about and other times they just happened to be in the compost and decided to grow.

For example - I was pulling weeds from my beds and happen to notice that one looked very familiar....Cilantro! I do not remember planting Cilantro and had not planted in this bed since May of 2011, but never the less it grew! I did find a packet of cilantro seeds in my seed box, but it is still sealed. Maybe I bought two packets?
