We have a few of these plants volunteering in our garden. This one is growing in between some of my Bromeliads. I don’t know what they are or were they came from, although, I think the bird may have brought the seeds into our garden when they go poop.

Anyone know what these plants are?

There are growing in the Northern San Francisco Bay Area. Zone 9A.

Kabocha Squash + Vegetable Dish…

My Mom was going to cook Pinakbet with the Kabocha Squash we harvested from our garden…

…but we didn’t have Bitter Melon and Bagoong. It was still a really good vegetable dish.

I don’t know if I liked the portrait or landscape version of this photo. Which one do you like better?
