Volunteer Mustard

I've heard other gardeners express displeasure over volunteer plants popping up in unexpected places.As long as they're not weeds, I love volunteers. There's something I really dig about the randomness of nature messing the unnatural even rows we plan out. This being the second year for the garden, I expected some unplanned plants. The garden did not dissappoint.
I got 3 black cherry tomato plants, two Thai hot peppers, two eggplants, and a yellow cucumber.
However, today I found mustard greens growing from seeds that came from the one mustard plant that germinated this spring. It bolted, flowered, and produced seeds that grew. Very cool.
