Dear All,            Aug 9, 2007
    I noticed an interesting difference between coiled and straight 
tendrils tonight. My only cucumber plant this year was in a tight corner 
so I trained it up a bean pole.

    The three tendrils that coiled tightly around a Common Reed blade 
are still green and turgid even though I soon broke the blade and only a 
shard remains in the coil. The 10 or so tendrils that found nothing to 
curl around are limp and shriveled or dry and brown except for the most 
recently expanded which is still turgid.

    Nothing goes to waste.

Yt, DW, Kentville
