In 2011 I hope to have the semi-tidy front garden I'd planned for this year, which ended up being a wild mass of vines (morning glories, pole beans, gourds, and cucumbers) climbing and crawling over everything else, including the house and power lines, the neighbor's trees, and up onto the roof. I haven't figured out yet how I'm going to harvest gourds that are 25 feet above the ground.

This made me smile when I read it.
I can so relate to the out of control vines. Maybe this next year you might not have to get a machete to harvest

Once the vines got going, they seemed to grow at least a foot per day. Now that the plants are tired and turning brown, I can spot the gourds hanging from the eaves, the power line, my neighbor's tree. I'm going to take a ladder out there this weekend and see if I can reach any of them. They're perfectly formed bird's nest gourds. I must have 20 of them.

Next years garden is going to be kinda a surprise since this is our first time planting one at our new location. Up stairs neighbor is also planting a garden. We will start all our plants from seeds as we have done for several years.
