Do zucchini plants ever lean? I had a thief still the butternut bush (my one and only) and severely damaged a zucchini plant by pulling the fruit off by hand. Others zucchini plants are leaning so I am wondering if the thief caused it from trying to pull off fruit or looking for fruit or if this is a normal occurrence with zucchini. I planted them the proper depth too. Thanks in advance!
Yes, they do lean and fall down, and the vine runs on the ground. If the wind blows them around they look funny for a while, but the leaves will turn up towards the sun again. The fruit is usually on the ground because it gets so heavy. They keep putting on fruit till frost here.
