Two days of digging like a madman to increase my patch to lawn ratio--I now call it the "pumpkin hole in the yard project". My wife will know it as the plant that took over our yard. Who needs a lawn anyway :) Check out the growth over 4 days from May 24 pic above. Here is the 1446 at 34 days old. I don't think the extension on the greenhouse will last more than a couple of days at this rate. The two secondary vines I left off the stump are already touching the sides of the greenhouse. I will have to remove the greenhouse soon, or construct some sort of makeshift workaround contraption that extends the sides slightly.
I snapped a long tendril off the plant near the tip (as you can see in the pic there is one missing from the third to last leaf from the tip). I did this while trying to train the vine closer to the ground with a couple of bamboo sticks--the main just seems to want to grow straight up, even wanting to turn over. At any rate, I am running out of time with this greenouse.
