October 19, 2012

The gourd vines finally died. FINALLY! Now I can walk around. It was a little thrill to pull the vines and while simultaneously cutting off the gourds where I found them. I kept finding gourds that I had not noticed. I was also interesting to see where the gourds decided to grow. Well, the pictures below will explain everything.


This is the second level.

All of the gourds can be seen in these images; they are the same image. The top image was cut and aligned in order to prevent distortion. It takes a little practice to orient your eyes to the alignment points.
 This image was photomerged. Again, as with the others in previous posts, the distortion is extreme.

Exactly where I found them. 


 The Three Amigos.
I think that the total count was fifty-seven, and that was from just one plant.
THAT is a pile of vines, both watermelon and gourd.

I'm amazed at the size of the base of the watermelon vine. It looks like something from a fantasy movie.
