Should You Prop Up A Large Zucchini Plant That Fall Over In The Garden?

Question

I put more soil around this plant but it will not stand up like it did before.

Answer 1

These will need to be staked, or can be let to grow along the ground. It is completely up to you. Some forms are vining, and some are bush form.

Personally, I would use a tomato cage. It will keep the fruits from touching the ground, and provide support for the plant.
