Well, if it's a pumpkin, I can figure out where it came from. If it's not a pumpkin, I have NO idea where or how. Last year, when I carved out my pumpkins for Halloween, I saved the seeds as I wanted to roast them. However, in my forgetfulness, I left them outside that night & the next morning, I found that the squirrels had found my bowl of pumpkin seeds. And squirrels are notorious for digging in my mulch.. I find their little holes EVERYWHERE. Surprising that it's growing where it's growing, though. It gets less than 4 hours of sun / day.. only between like 10:30am to 1:30pm (high noon).
My Jack-o-lanterns from last year. I don't use a pattern (and it shows) and I carve my pumpkins using a drywall knife (

But I have fun carving them!
