"Oh my - remember how last year we found a rogue cantaloupe plant growing throughout the potato towers? Welp, think I found a little cantaloupe seedling chillin' in the same bed among the beans!"
Partner laughs and agrees we can put it in one of the spots prepared for the melons and see what it becomes!

| Awww, look at the little melon go! |
Come back two weeks later...
"Sooooooo...you know how we had borage that first year and it went everywhere so we've been pulling it out in all the beds and not letting it go since then....?"
(You see where this is going)
Partner comes over to look...
"hahahaha! Yup! That's borage!"
Well, done. You successfully re-planted what has become a weed. Well, well, done.
We laugh. I take a photo and then pull it out, rip it to shreds so it can't procreate in the compost bin and that's that.
Ok, but here's the thing: I do NOT remember it ever having those kind of starter leaves! Those were such melon-looking starter leaves! I mean all starter leaves look the same, but not melons! They are very distinct! So what if it WAS actually a cantaloupe and I just ripped it out! This has really been bothering me since I did that!
...
Ok, I just Googled "borage seedlings"...
I give up.
