Seriously though, what's the difference between wild cucumbers and the kind I plant with seeds that I buy at the store?
Wild cucumber is a kind of gourd that is not related to the kinds of cucumber we eat. It's a native annual vine that grows extremely quickly and climbs vigorously. Unlike @the wind, I think its little spiny fruits are cute. It also has handsome leaves and charming, lightly fragrant flowers.

Well, that really bites for sure. Fence?
I don't do much in my yard, so I'm hoping the trellis will give me adequate privacy. It could use a little help, though, hence my interest in wild cucumber (I don't want a perennial vine that would require require pruning).

Maybe you should be the one partying and playing loud music. Maybe they'll move. Either that or make them think the lot is haunted. You could tell them a story how the last people that lived there died horribly and every once in a while you see one of them outside.
I'll probably just huddle in my house and mutter bitterly. Although if they have a lot of fires--which they love--I am going to have to talk to them. Even before the house was built last year, they had regular gatherings around the fire pit they set up right away, and I would have to shut my windows to be able to breathe comfortably.

    I had actually never heard of it. Is it a more southern plant?

    Nope. Northern, if anything. There isn't any around here, but it was all over the place in Bangor.

    I'd feel very guilty introducing it to my town. It would spread like crazy.

    That really is the pits.

    Yeah they say it spreads a lot.
