Our next-door neighbor has planted “gourds” this year, and they have gone crazy. He says we’ll all have lots of them come Halloween. That will be nice, but I constantly have to cut the ones back that encroach on our garden and walkway. At one point, I could barely reach our gate, the growth was so heavy.

We have postage-stamp-sized front gardens, thus you have to fit as much as possible into a very small space. And so he has.
