The only thing that comes to mind that grows on a vine is either a grape or watermelon. Since it is a darker color, I would go for grapes. But it would be awful hard to get the insides of a grape into a pen!!

Hm. Vines are one thing, but vines that climb trees... or grow high enough that you have to climb a tree to get at them... and we're talking about Oklahoma not the Amazon rainforest...hm.

I'll guess either gourds or peppers.

Eileen you got it!!!!!!!!!!!! My wife planted a gourd plant that went crazy last year and we had gourds 30 ft high in our pear tree. We dried the gords for a year thank drilled a 1 1/2 inch hole and scooped out the insides to make bird houses. I used the flesh and seeds from inside and cast as I would my cactus castings. E-mail sent for your address to send you a blank

What is a fruit? Biologically, we always defined a fruit as any reproductive plant body with internal seeds. This applys to many things that most refer to as vegetables... i.e. tomatoes, avocadoes, squash, cucumbers, etc.

Okay, you've all had your biology lesson for the day.[}:)][;)]
