Zucchinis come in vine and also bush form but the vines do not spread as much as pumpkins. They are summer squash and die at first frost. They do not grow as tall as tomatoes, instead they grow about two feet tall and four feet wide as bush varieties and can grow 16 feet wide as vines. Eggplants are upright not vines and great for containers as they grow two feet tall by three feet wide. Eggplants also will be killed by a frost and like full sun and warm weather. Keep growing, Marianne Binetti
