I keep all my vegetable peelings to add to my compost bins. I usually try and avoid letting seeds get into it, but obviously sometimes a few still make it into the bin with the peelings. I recently put some of this lovely earthy smelling compost around my lemon tree, growing in a pot next to the side of the swimming pool.
Next thing there was a butternut plant growing out of the pot. I have left it to see what would happen, and it is providing the most wonderful source of gorgeous yellow flowers and pretty green tendrils. There isn't much space for me to photograph these flowers and tendrils without squashing the plant or falling into the pool with my camera, but I am thoroughly enjoying it while I have it. I wonder if it will ever manage to produce butternuts that grow to maturity for us to harvest and consume in this unsuitable and inhospitable environment, but I shall give put extra nutrients into this pot to support both the baby lemon tree, and the butternut plant.
