We only had one this year but it went bonkers. I've got a 3'x10' raised bed,
dang zucchini hung over both sides of the bed, musta been 5' in diameter. It
kept branching out and making more fruits. We actually froze some this year.
Tried some the other day, it seems to have worked out good, we'll probably do
more next year.

Have you tried zucchini? My parents used to have a few plants in their
garden and always had so much they had to give it away.
