This year I planted pumpkin and zuchini squash in little cups. They all grew except a few. Then I dumped the ones that didnt grow into a compost pile. In a day or two they grew! idea I transplanted them into my garden but now I can't tell them apart. All of the sprouts look exactly the same! HEEEEEEEEEEELLLLP

Well a picture would be great!!!

But in the mean time....

The pumpkin should be vining...
a long trail somewhere's.

The zucchini is more stationery, one place
grows straight up in the air... and then topples
over just a bit...

Yup, Weezie's right...pumpkins love to climb, zucchinis might want to but lack legs (tendrils) for it. Instead they just take over your yard, the neighbour's yard, your house.....

We have a neighbor that starts pumpkins and then
plants them like behind his arborvite (*sp) then then run their vines, straight up over the top of
the bushes.. it's quite comical actually, all over those bushes, then out into his lawn..
He can't mow but they do a good job of harvestin' pumpkin's........

Mine are attempting to go out into the lawn,
but I"m sending them back into their growing area..

The zucchini's are just setting there...
but the yellow squash is just going crazy this year..
