it is obvious we are going to be devoured alive by these melonpumpkingourdsquash vines. some we planted ourselves, on purpose. some seem to have come back from the previous year/previous owners. since pasquale has a similar vine in HIS garden, we are not worried about these mystery fruit. looks like maybe 8-ball zucchinis or something cute like that.
but the vines! the vines! i used to SIT on that slate surface and eat my breakfast!!
our neighbors on either side of us have grape arbors, fig trees, and other vegetables. we've got pumpkins, though, or we will in october. if we are still alive, that is.
i handwashed a hat of ben's and hung it out to dry. when ben went to retrieve it this morning, a tendril of vine had woven its way into the knitting.
we are doomed.
