The Enemy Within?

Last year our garden was a 24 hour buffet for a family of ground hogs. This year, it was slugs. And I say was, because, I seem to be gaining the upper hand. For the peas are coming in. The beans are covered with flowers. I have enough sage for the entire east coast, and the beets are developing their tasty roots.

But is there an enemy within the fenced in garden confines? That plant; that ginormous plant that could be a pumpkin is taking over and climbing over the fence. It has stalks bigger than my thumb, and leaves as big as umbrellas.
