Thanks for the info on the flat vines. I am watching this fruit grow mostly
out of curiosity, not having much hope of getting a competitive fruit. So
far it is growing at a normal pace. I am setting a fruit on a main sec. at
the other end of the plant. I'm tempted to put a barb wire fence around
this thing so it doesn't grab my grandson when he visits the patch! Just
kidding.
