Over the course of the summer, a vine started crawling up the side of my garden that I thought it was a cucumber. As the crazy heat of our Georgia summer slowly fried my garden, I didn't go out to check on things as often. Today I went down and noticed what I thought was a cucumber laying on the top frame of the enclosed garden, but upon closer inspection, it was not. Actually, I don't know what it is. It doesn't feel like a zucchini either. It smells somewhat like a stink weed!!
I found a smaller one in the garden on the soil and it was spongy.
Here is a better shot of the "fruit?" as well as a shot of the blossom.
I brought them up to the house and sliced open the smaller one.
Does anyone know what this is? Is it an imposted weed? Is there such a thing?!! ha ha ha!! Thanks.
