Is this trailing or a climber...says different things in google-land :) I assume it's a full sun job? I was wondering re planting in containers (size?) and trying to trail up sunny side of garage (can plant in soil as hardcore extends beyond garage.

I had some seeds in a swap a couple years ago, but forgot what they were and couldn't read my writing. So this is what they were
Another "Lost Food of the Incas" I expect, like those exploding cucumbers ;D
