According to the book, zucchini needs one square. I gave them a bit more space than that when planting, but it still wasn't enough. I had to move a pepper, tomato, and two basil plants to give my two squash enough space (and to prevent those plants from being smothered). I also massively pruned the squash, and they may never recover. I left one tomato plant in the corner. Next year I'm going to put two squash plants in opposite corners of one 9 square foot bed and let them duke it out by themselves.
