Hello,

These "squash" plants in my garden are truly getting out of
hand. The leaves are over 2 hands across and the other way
also. The plant itself is over the height of my hip and iam
5'6". In case anyone wants to know, yellow crokneck
squash should be vining along and close to the ground, of
which i do have a couple at the other end of the little
garden, that are acting normal. These monster bushes are
bigger than the tomato plants, beside which they are
planted. I purchased all the plants at Lowes: the ones that
are acting normally and the ones that are becoming
monsters. The monsters have no blossoms, the normal ones
are prolific with blossoms. What the 'ell is going on!!!?

Should i just chop the monsters or wait and see what
happens - iam truly scared - they are prickly too. I realize
this sounds absurd, however iam seriously worried, because
after a long drought (which never bothered the monsters),
ithas begun to rain a real sustaining rain.

Truly
HHHEEEEELLLLLLP, well i hope not . . . yet anyway.

I plant all my vining varieties in 4 ft. x 4 ft. raised gardens all
located along the periphery of my gardening area so as to give them
plenty of space to crawl.
