It’s common to use a trellis with cucumbers to have their vines grow vertically instead of covering all of the horizontal space of a garden. That makes cucumbers “hang” in the air like a fruit on a tree, and would lead to those motion lines in a fall.
Well before Newton discovered gravity, the vines would have been floating freely around. His discovery is what triggered the cucumber to hit the ground.

But did they do that in Newton’s time?
