Zucchini...
I have never planted this stuff, and don't eat it but I got some in my garden because I have a friend who likes it. Thing is, it grew up pretty big, got blooms and small zucchinis growing, then most of the plants just toppled over...maybe the rain or wind did it.
Is it okay to leave it this way, or should I try to prop it up or maybe cover the big stem with more dirt? I'm thinking...it sure looks natural that way, but maybe not. Any advice? |

That's normal, they are not meant to grow like a tree. They are a bush squash and squash are supposed to run.

My squash get blown over by the wind or beat down by the rain every year...doesn't hurt them.

Thanks Paquebot & hippygirl, I reckon because I planted on raised rows this year it made them look worse than usual because the rows were up about 8-10 inches they looked kind of funny if you can imagine that. Expecting rain, so maybe they'll straighten up a bit once the sun hits 'em again.
