ShiShi has it right. Based on the pictures I saw on the link she posted, this is definitely a Velvet Leaf. So glad I asked because I wouldn't want it propagating all over my backyard even though it's kind of a pretty weed.
Thanks everyone for your feedback. I agree on the one post that this isn't a cucumber plant. Although the leaves and flowers look just like a cucumber plant, this plant has star shaped spikey "buds" to it that I've never seen. Some of them have turned from green to black. I think I'll let it continue to grow to see what changes happen to it.
If you look at the picture closely (sorry, should have posted a close up), there are star shaped things growing off of some stems. Some of them have turned black. These look totally different than the flower buds, and they will not flower like the other flowers. ... View related article.
I'm aware of two opportunities for working at home that involve no cost and no credit cards.
One is Pay to Read programs. Get paid to scan through an e-mail and click on a link. We're not talking get rich here, but something more in the range of $25 - $100 per month. For more information, I've compiled a list of these programs, once I've test driven and personally recommend, on my website. Check out http://nocostcashfromhome.blogspot.com for more info.
The second opportunity is for the typists out there. If you can type 65 wpm or greater, check out http://www.speak-write.com/TypistNav/Employment/index.cfm. They're hiring general transcriptionists that work from home and set your own hours. Apply, take a typing test, review a tutorial, and take a test on the tutorial, and you're hired. Their website states you can earn anywhere from $10 - $15 per hour depending on speed.
Check out my website for information on Pay to Read programs that are out on the web. No cost, no credit card, simple work, and only takes me about 10-15 minutes per day. We're not talking a get rich program (thousands of dollars), more like $25 a month, or $100 - $200 if you build a referral base like I have.
