Hello,

I have some plants growing and I don't have a clue what
they are or where they came from. I've planted quite a
few seeds, everything from basil (sweet and lemon and
purple) to belle peppers and cucumbers and corn, onion,
peas, pole beans, bush beans, watermelon and pumpkin.

The first plant is currently about 3 feet tall, the leaves range
in size from 1 to 4 inches long, and 1 to 2 inches in width. The
initial stems grow out redish in color and gradually turn green.
There are some thorns on the plant. When the plant reaches
three feet in height the base of the plant is slightly bigger than
one centimeter. The roots seem to be shallow but I haven't
dug one of these up. I'm wondering if I got a bad batch of
purple basil seeds. Some pictures of the first plant are he

The second plant is one that I didn't plant, but it's a vine with
small leaves that is starting to cover a fence. It is growing some
orange cherry sized fruits and it almost looks like some sort of
miniature cucumber vine except the fruit appears oval shaped
and grows slightly bigger than a cherry. Wasps seem to like it
after the fruit has been cracked open. Bees like the flowers,
which are yellow in color, are approximately 1 inch in total
diameter. Here are the pictures of the vine...

I've seen this vine on other fences in the area and I've seen it
in the past in other parts of Florida.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
