Twisting tenacious tendrils
grasping gripping grace
holding fast
I’m back with a snapshot (or four) in response to Maria Antonia‘s weekly photo challenge. In the garden again is where I found this week’s “Twisted”. Check out Maria’s #2022picoftheweek to see how you can participate in this fun prompt.

Yes! Twisted, indeed. It’s amazing how these plants can grow up a trellis with those twisty bits. 🙂

A trellis would have been a good idea. This spaghetti squash is climbing all over the other plants. It’s a jungle

The fruit is oval and light tan colored. I usually halve it and bake it or peel it and steam it. It’s stringy inside, like spaghetti and I use it as such, mixing it with a spaghetti sauce or with pesto.

Thank you. This plant is a monster, clambering over the peppers and eggplant that share the bed. I cut it back after this photo and now it has giant fruits and has regrown more vines.

I think the only thing that grows rampant like that in this country is the hop vine.

I’m sure the hops are put to good use. I’m looking forward to my squash.

They were introduced by Dutch immigrants in Tudor times and were extensively grown for the brewing industry. I guess they still are, just not in my neck of the woods. Do home brewers harvest them? I expect so

Yes, a lot of people are growing hops now for home brew and craft beers.
