War of the chayote

In the last two weeks, one of our chayotes (the one that gets the most sun) has grown about four to five feet. Within about three days, it will be able to reach our phone line, which runs just above the pergola.

I fear that I will awake one morning, the phone dead, and the doors blocked by The Chayote That Took Over The World.

Luckily, our second chayote is apparently a bit slow, and they can't work in tandem. Woe unto us if they could.

Please, please, please don't let them join the Vegetable Liberation Army!
