   I like those little bonus harvests, like your unexpected beans. About a month   
   after I harvested the pumpkins and winter squash, I was walking near the   
   garden and spotted what I thought was our orange barn cat napping under a bush   
   several yards from the    
   end of the garden. On closer inspection, it turned out to be a large pumpkin   
   that escaped notice during the earlier harvest.
