Can anyone identify this vine?

17 years ago

Was walking pass a vacant piece of property the other day and spotted this vine growing on the fence post. Can anyone tell me what it is? The Leaves almost look like grape leaves. The little fruit almost looks like a green tomato. And is about the size of a golf ball. It has two large seeds inside.

This seems to be Cucurbita palmata, or Coyote Gourd, a wild vine, native to California. :) Arum
