view of vines

Despite my absence, the karela vine was able to thrive. It likely doesn't have long to live (and will never produce bitter melons) as it is a warm weather annual. But it has been fun to watch it crawl up the side of the building, worth digging it up and transporting it from Missouri to Alabama to New York.
  

The sword bean, too, has thrived. It has made it all the way up and into Toby's window, one floor up. Probably about 14 feet. We'll see how long they last in a New York winter. So far no freezes.
