# literally plants

in a departure from the usual technology theme, this post is about grass that has been touched.
I guess picture first, then the explainations...

These pumpkin plants climed their way out of their seeds at the bottom of a compost bucket to the surface.
after a few days of thinking I decided a semi-shaded pile of leaves from last fall would be a good spot for them.
carefully took them out, separated them, and planted them. I try to keep them watered-ish, but I don't want to mess with them too much or I might fuck it up.

These blackberries grow wild around here. Still not sure yet if they're worth the effort of avoiding thorns the rest of the year.

I had put some leftover bits of tomato from dinner the other week into a container with some potting soil and forgot about it.
Checked the other day and saw these little boogers actually growing.
Last fall I put up some fence and decided it was going to be sensitive-plant-space and started putting cardboard and leaf mulch from where the pumpkins are.
I figured putting some cinder blocks in there as kind of, deconstructable and bottomless containers might work really well.

This pumpkin is inside the same fenced in area that the tomats are now in. I was clearing the tall grass from the fenced area and stumbled upon them.
I figure a pumpkin got thrown in there at some point in the last year. I don't remember.

The yangs (unyins) and potats were also leftover food stuck into flower pots. I think I might put them in the same area the tomats are in.
