What is it?

This grew wild in my garden. At first I thought it might turn out to be a squash but soon realized it wasn’t. I suspect a seed from my compost pile. I just noticed this today. What is it?

What do I do?!

This is my first time posting. This is my first year growing these Tromboncino Zucchini. I was away for 2 1/2 weeks and this is what I came home to. I have 2 others out there that are like 4 ft. long but are starting to turn tan so I left those ones on because I understand if I leave them until they turn orangeish with a tough shell they’ll be more like winter zucchini. What would you do with these? Just use like any other zucchini? Thoughts about leaving the others on. Thanks for any comments!

Help! Garden over crowded

I have a raised bed garden (but sitting on the ground) that is 4x16. It is completely enclosed by chicken wire (because we have terrible issues with deer) and is 4 foot tall on the perimeter but 6 foot tall in the center. The chicken wire is a great support as I planted all plants around the perimeter and the chicken wire supports vertical growing. I planted 5 tomatoes, 4 banana peppers, 4 Romanesco zucchini, and pole beans. Everything is growing beautifully but I worry about over crowding and shade. The pole beans are interspersed through out the garden (in little clumps) in between the other plants. I Have been trimming bottom leaves on tomatoes and beans. Not sure what else to do. The zucchini plants are huge. What’s worse - in a few days I’m leaving on a three week trip. Any suggestions?
