I bury vegetable scraps in my flowerbeds and am always getting volunteer "stuff". Today I picked a large seeded watermelon. I thumped it but was not sure if it was ripe. When I cut into it, the melon almost exploded. It was a luscious, sweet, perfect melon. I cut it into pieces and shared with my neighbors. The rind and seeds will go back into the flower beds.
It was quite large. Several more melons are growing, as are cantalopes, peppers and volunteer tomatoes. When I buy the large tricolor packs of peppers at Sams, the seeds and stems go into the backyard flower beds. The vegetable matter feeds the soil and I am rewarded with vegetables and fruits.
Recycling my veggie scraps gives me food for body and soul.
