Consider yourself lucky the compost pile is the ONLY place a pumpkin seed has sprung up. We call my daughter "The Mad Seeder," and this includes every crack, crevice and body part available. But I have to admit: she has the touch: she's coaxed zucchini, tomatoes and even corn out of the cracks in our patio; tomatoes entwined with our roses, canopying our driveway... Rather than stifle her seeding glee, and "experimentation," we just call it a "Cottage Garden." Notable, post-gardening exchange from the carseat: "Mommy, my nose tickles." "Well, don't put your finger in there." "I won't...it's probably just the SEED in there." "Wha?!"--SCREEEEEECH! Nobody was harmed. Pumpkin seeds are not advised in noses, but actually about the right size to stay put. Good thing I always carry surgical, long-"nose" tweezers, which I planned to use delicately, had the giant blow not worked! "Look Mommy, I'm a wind turbine!" FUN!
