They will creep upwards, as a vine. Just keep an eye on them and fix them gently to a nearby tree or frame if it seems necessary. They'll head upwards for the sun. I have pumpkins, planted by passing birds, which simply crawl up trees growing where the vines have to climb to reach the sunlight. They do this without any help from me, and against all probability produce huge heavy fruit which doesn't fall to the ground under its own weight. If it works for pumpkins, it has to work for zucchini. People have told me creeping plants prefer to do their own thing rather than be tied to a frame. I cannot vouch for this, but I do know our pumpkins are the biggest and heaviest I've seen. So if you have trees with trunks out of the sun, plant the zucchini at their base and the vine should head on up.

Before starting to plant first check to see if the thermometer reads 65 F. Also make sure you plant in a mound and sshape the soil like a mound. Add some decomposed manure and make it 2 ft in diameter. If you're making more than one mound, put 3 ft of space between each one. See that it should not be more than 5 plants per mound. As you start to plant zucchini, you need to provide at least six inches of space for each plant. Also after planting is done, see that you water once a week atleast. The watering should be deep.
