That must have been really fun! The Toronto zoo has an awards plaque for “Nice Penguin of the Month” and “Naughty Penguin of the Month” which leads me to believe that they must be characters

That’s very helpful, thank you! I’m going to try for option 1 if I can help it, though unfortunately these cucumbers had a pretty prickly stem last year. At worst, it’s all getting trellised. What would you use for a sling support if they are too far along to un-trellis?

I am having this problem right now. My kids made it rain cucumber, pumpkin, and honey nut squash seeds in the garden. I can’t tell what should have a trellis and what needs to be on the ground

It looks like a felt art project! Yet another reason to conserve the rainforest
