It's amazing that while for some things in the garden are the biggest mission to grow,other things just pop up and thrive with no help from you whatsoever. For a friend of mine it's macadamias. She has them popping up everywhere, in the most unlikely places, clinging to bits of leaf litter and generally going nuts. Of course I go and pinch one of hers and it is now so peeved that it hasn't sprouted a new leaf in over six months.
For me what pops up in the garden, is paw paw. Everywhere, all the time. This little one above is next to some watermelons. The good thing about paw paws is that they don't spread out, so I usually just leave them to do their thing.
The bad thing is that I don't actually like the taste of them.
I am getting better, but why couldn't a lychee tree be my pop up fruit?
What's your pop up plant?

Tomato, tomato, tomato...in the compost.
See, that's a yum pop up plant! Are they always cherry, or do you get big ones?
Pumpkins from the compost as well! We can swap pop up plants I love paw paw! Hehe
We have a lucky dip from our compost. John brings home buckets of fruit and veg scraps from a shop near his work and tips it in the compost bin for the chooks to pick through. We've had all sorts of surprises.
Erin I will gladly swap paw paw for pumpkin, that's a brilliant idea!
