Feed Me, Seymour!

Here are some update photos of the rogue squash growing in my compost pile. Somewhere under all that vegetation is a small pile of organic matter that should be breaking down and getting ready to provide nutrients to my plants next year.

Instead, it's providing all the nourishment that this seemingly steroid supported squash plant is consuming right now. I have no idea about what condition the compost will be in, but I do know that there are tons of blossoms on this thing. Since this photo was taken, the runners have infiltrated the alley en masse and the small receptacle for dog waste is completely obscured beneath squash fronds that could double as hang-gliders. Wow.
