So, I had some time on my hands and was looking at stuff on Pinterest, and saw an idea for (what they called) growing zucchini vertically. Since most (or all?) zucchini are bush-type plants, it isn't exactly vertically, but the recommendation was basically to grow it in a large ring-type tomato cage, training the leaves up into the cage so they are supported off the ground. This sounds like a pretty good idea to me, since I'm always stepping on the leaves when trying to get to the zucchinis -- just wondering if anyone has ever tried it (or, even if not, what you think of the idea). I'm all ears!
