Every year there's an "Unknown Plant" growing in my garden...

2006- A watermelon plant started growing in my Big Max pumpkin area. Though here's what gets me...The fruit it produced was orange! But the inside was still red like a watermelon.

2007- I tried growing tomatoes this year, but one of the plants gave me only yellow tomatoes.

2008- "Unknown Pumpkin" It started growing in one of my moms bulb pots, 2 months later its' main vine was 27FT long but it had the same leaves as watermelon plants. In the end it produced me a 75lbs pumpkin.
Here'sn what gets me...The bulb that was in the pot never came up, if this pumpkin came from the bulb will always be a mystery...?

2009- June 15 a small bean plant started in a rocky weed area outside my garden, today this bean plant is about 16FT tall and has about 15 beans each 1FT long. I've given it no water all year. I'm sure if you gave this plant care, it would break 25Ft+.
I'd be glad to send out my weird seeds to other growers.

Do you have some seeds from the melonpumpkin?

I wonder if the fruit would be considered a pumpkin or melon at a weighoff?

I also have the mystery plant. I have a tomatoe plant growing in my salad mix row. The salad row is a mixed mesculine. I bought my tomato plants this year so where the seed came from I have no clue.I thas blossomed yet so i don't know what type of tomato it is.

In years past I've had cherry tomatoes fall to the ground unnoticed only to have baby tomato plants pop up in that spot the following year.

two years ago we had 2 jamestownweed plants growing in the cucumber row that the seed company got mix in with the cucumber seeds. now they are growing everywhere in my garden, if you dont know what they are they part of the nightshade family and have thick purple stems with thorny pods that grow out of the joints. these things are really kool and will send you on a major trip if you eat them lol
