RE: Correct Spacing for Zucchini Squash

I believe the 1 per square foot method was in an old issue of Organic 
Gardening. It suggested tying the plant to a pole as it grew. I tried it 
with laughable results, the zukes seem  to really want that 9- 12 square 
feet and will get it !

I am growing "spacemiser" zucchini this year and I 've given them about 4 
square feet, but they are looking expansionist already. Coincidentally, I 
just checked on what I assumed was a volunteer pumpkin (I've had them 
volunteer for several years running via my compost) only to see two tiny 
zucchinis on the plant. It's amazing to have fruiting zucchini in Oregon in 
June. I do love the surprises the garden can provide !
