My “Pot-luck” Patch

This season there was no shortage of surprises!! The biggest surprise being that I had grabbed some grape vine cuttings, from a pile that was next to the patch, to quickly use as stakes to support some tomatoe plants. One of the stakes sprouted all on its own!

Another surprise was finding a few Cape Gooseberry plants growing. Nobody in our household eats Gooseberries, so where did they come from? I can only guess that maybe they were from bird droppings?
Anyways, I repotted these out of the patch and into a pot.
