Squash & Zucchini Too Close - Can I Trim If Growing Too Big?

Hello everyone, I planted some of my yellow squash, zucchini, and spaghetti squash too close together and they are staring to encroach on each other. Should I start trimming them back to control them or should I just let them go? I have the spaghetti squash trellised but they are still growing on the ground into my other squash. Thanks all.

Just let them go and do their thing. Sounds like you will have a grand squash patch!

The squash patch can really get humongous.
