I made a new raised bed this year and I originally planted some tomatoes I had raised from seed (Jung's Mountain Man Hybrids). I used compost from my pile to fill in the raised bed. Early on these squash volunteers from the compost started growing, and I decided to let them grow. As you can see, I have taken a long time to decide to do anything about this, and by now the squash have completely over taken the tomatoes (although there are tomato plants in there with flowers on them). There are flowers on the squash plants, as shown in the photos, but I haven't identified any actual squash growing yet, and it has gotten to the point where they are now encroaching on my adjacent raised bed. Also, as they are volunteers it's a complete mystery as to what these plants will eventually produce for me.
So /hgm/, should I wipe out these volunteers now or just cut them back?
