Don Luis, auntnace may be right about the species. in fact the long one, is good to eat but very bitter.
Hi, Luis. I just noticed that we have what appear to be identical spottings, but have different scientific names assigned. Links for both: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitter_melo...

These vines drive me crazy. The birds love those bright red seeds and spread them all over--and it seems ALL of them sprout the following year.
