They actually use those tentacles to climb trees, which can cause large pumpkins to develop way off the ground – enchanting but dangerous.

Is this a BW without showy genitals? I am amazed.

That’s why sensible people give them a ladder or a sloping lattice to climb onto the roof of the garden shed. Not suitable for conventional watermelons or the biiiiig pumpkins – but fantastic for butternuts and similar sized sweet melons.

I have hops between me and my driveway.
They are out to get me.
(I know it’s not the same thing but they are all spikey-tendrilly, too.)

Very pretty! I’m with A.R, shocked by the modesty.

nice trichomes on that tendril
ChasCPetersonsays
now if I’d looked it up first, I would have also used the terms ‘hispid’ and (heh) ‘pubescent’:
nice, hispid trichomes on that pubescent tendril
ChasCPetersonsays
fuck, the tendril is hispid. The trichomes are (possibly) ‘hispidous’.
I’ll shut up.

Bippity Bobbidy BANG!

Sorry, but there’s something about tendrils that always creeps me out a little. It’s the way they grab on to things, I guess. Sort of breeching the line between plant and animal. Perhaps that’s the deep psychological meaning to what I do with pumpkins!

Nice. Anyone know if that’s a logarithmic spiral?
