Pumpkin almost took out my fence!

I’m so relieved my neighbor pointed out this pumpkin escapee trying to grow in between the fence planks. Unfortunately chopping the pumpkin into tiny pieces was the only way to save the fence. The pumpkin vine is an enormous volunteer from last year’s Halloween pumpkin; it seems to have really flourished from this rainy summer. Not to worry, there are a few more pumpkins growing in more appropriate places.
