Author Message   Rebecky80  Posted on Tuesday, June 17, 2008 - 08:41 pm EST :    I'm from Kansas and have just started my compost bin a few months ago. We have received SO much rain this past month, that I have this plant taking over half of my bin! Any ideas what it is? Ants seem to love it - it's very fuzzy and prickly to touch. More photos are at www.photobucket.com/rebecky80 (in the "outside" album) I also have another little guy growing in the corner. Would love to know that that is before I kindly remove them! Thanks!

Squash would be the fuzzy prickly one. I can't pinpoint either variety but I would guess a Zucchini and a Russet.

I guess anything that goes in may end up coming back out... Maybe I won't pull them out right away...! Rebecky80 - Kansas, Zone "6"
