Richard, are you sure it was zucchini? I remember a picture of a man
in his garden next to his crookneck squash, and I remember the letter
mentioned miniature pumpkins of some kind, but I don't remember zukes.
Last year I trellised my cucumbers, and that worked very well, but
our zucchini last year grew anywhere from forearm sized all the way
to canoe sized, and I'm not sure the trellis would have held those
big boys....
If you try it let us know how your luck goes, or better yet, take
a picture and send it to OG!
