This is growing on my back fence. It's a vine that my neighbors have planted so I have no idea what it is. It's actually about 2 feet long! Is it a cucumber? Can I eat it? I actually have been slightly peeved that I have to continually trim these vines that come over from my neighbors yard. I guess if I get a cucumber from it, it won't be so bad. I've done some research but nothing conclusive.
Update: Okay, I did some more research and it's appears to be a penguin gourd or at least a gourd of some sort. Did you know that there is a National Gourd Society?! You do now. : ) And actually, I trimmed the vines on my side of the fence but left the gourd and woke up this morning to find it missing and more vines trimmed. So I think my neighbors took the gourd. Which is okay by me. Other than drying it and painting it, what do you do with a gourd?
Mystery solved.

Very strange!
I think it is either a cucumber or a squash of some kind.
They took your gourd?!??!?! Isn't that like taking back a gift? They obviously need to keep better track of their produce!
