I found this plant (female) climbing on the roadside fence yesterday and today I found another with male flowers. I think this is the Creeping Cucumber. Please advise if I am wrong.

I found a couple of ripe fruits on another vine at 2000m yesterday. Are these cucumbers edible? Please advise.

Thanks.

Beautiful capture, Ashwini ji.

In young stage the raw fruits are edible. We used to eat it as per Identification of Cucurbitaceae member
