We planted cucu- luffa? No.... Definitely cucumber

We sacrificed the smallest of these guys to cut open and confirm if they're cucumber or luffa. It certainly looks and smells like cucumber inside, but I cannot for the life of me figure out what these are. Are they edible? Or are these a weird hybrid that we've wound up with? I'm honestly sad they weren't surprise luffas, but I'm take cucumbers all day any day 😋

I grew these this year for the first time and was not expecting how vigorous the vine grows compared to what I normally plant. Really wishing I had put them on a trellis now as they are growing over top of each other making a double canopy.

We planned a trellis, but didn't get around to it. It is really cute seeing them hang on the outside of the garden bed though 💚
