Found this growing on my deck, left it because it was so pretty, then just noticed the fruit! Did some research and discovered this west coast native had somehow hitched a ride to New England! Anyone else have wild cucumber growing wild in the Northeast?
Alas, I will pull it and trash it. I live in a protected wetlands district and I don't want it propagating into the native meadow next to the house.
It's a nasty and here in rural upstate NY can be quite invasive. Don't let the seeds dry and germinate or you'l be over run.
Yikes! Thanks for the tip.
I see it once in awhile....my art teacher did a beautiful watercolor of it.......
We have it growing in my area. Thanks for the reminder to pull it when I see one.
