A Garden Mystery

What is this? One guess....

Some sort of tubing? You think?

Here's a hint:

A mini cantaloupe...

That always will remain a mini cantaloupe.

Because a cantaloupe vine cannot grow when it is severed from its roots by a weed eater. Even with duct tape.

Did you know there is at least one thing that duct tape can't fix?

But husbands get desperate when their wives cry that they are losing all their cantaloupes because someone cut the vine.

Gardening is not always roses. Or cantaloupes. *sigh*
