The vines shake before the fight --moonflower and trombone squash

It finally happened-- my 40 ft trombone squash vine and 20 foot moonflower met and began there wrestling match for dominance of the fall garden:



The squash made the first grab, and a couple of days later the moonflower went for a reverse pin:


My simple wire fence is the perfect place to let these two heavyweight vines battle. Tonight will be the coolest night of the fall so far, with lows in the 40's, which may finally slow down these two tropicals.
