If they start heading towards the driveway or walkway though you'll need to redirect the vines (and they're ornery things, they'll turn right back around and head for it again - I had vines literally tying themselves in knots trying to go where I didn't want them to go, lol).
This tip provided by the over-exuberant gardener who didn't realize what 12 little seeds would do to her garden this year... and couldn't bear to cut the vines because they were so pretty! Next year I'm planting gourd vines next to my back patio and training them to go up runners so they'll shade the side of the patio that the sun sneaks under.  |
be careful or this could happen
