Is this growing in the south? It might be helpful to know approximately where you found it growing.

I believe it is wild cucumber. Not edible.

awww.. why yes it is indeed!! I followed your links & then googled more pictures. now I remember coming across this plant in a few other spots of my flower beds, but they didnt get to be this big, (I pulled them out Big Grin ) kinda cool looking, but with youngins around i dont want to take the chance of them thinking it may be edible.
thank you very much for the help!!
