The real triffids

[reetnproper]

I took this photo a couple of days ago and there is now several inches more growth on these plants. The fence is 4ft tall and the tendrils have been secured to this side of the fence when long enough and more are slowly but surely, inching their way over and down the fence.

This is a Cobnut squash type plant and is trully related to the triffiids

My Marina di Chioggia is doing that as well, it's 12ft along from where it was planted
I think I'll have to tie the fruit up.....if they decide to stay on/get fat

That looks like a smashing plant Reet and so healthy. My squashes are looking decidely dejected this year. Oh well.
