Jack, builder of big beanstalks, could have reached new heights with this zucchini squash vine grown by Mr. and Mrs. William Skinner of 1506 Brooklyn. Planted from seed in June, it now extends over 20 feet with elephant-ear leaves that can nearly serve as beach umbrellas. One might expect giant vegetables; however, Skinner says the vine is able only to muster up squashes a few inches in diameter which quickly die. Baffled by what they brought about, the Skinners "just enjoy looking at it."
