The vines have reached the top the trellis and is now growing through the deck slats. I was suprised its able to squeeze through and not worried about it hurting the deck. I'll cut it back when I harvest in a month or two.
They seem happy with this, I have to be careful not to step on them. But they are getting alot of sunlight where they got through.
I guess there is enough space to slip through. They got through about a month ago and have been on the move since then.
It's amazing how quickly these vines grow. I can come back a day or two later and see the leaves are much bigger.
Maybe I'll save these leaves to eat. I'd hate for them to goto waste. But the plant is benefiting from them so I'm not concerned. Just amazed they worked their way through the decking.
