I planted pumpkin seeds last year. The seeds only grew into the plant, never became vines or pumpkins.
Last week, I noticed a large, round egg shell like substance growing in the compost, so I cracked the top and found this inside.

The 'egg shell' is what's left of a pumpkin or some squash like thing. Its full of sprouting pumpkin/squash seedlings. Now you have to try to think back to last summer and remember what you tossed in the compost, innards and all.
Aren't compost piles fascinating places?
