zucchini questions

First - the plants are going crazy - about 3 1/2 feet high. Usually the plants send out male flowers for at least several weeks before the females appear. This year the females are appearing with only a few male flower buds. This is both golden zucchini and the reg. dark green varieties. Both varieties have 5-6 females per plant.

Because of the incredible size could I trim the leaves on side of the patch - they bothering my tomatoes and given a choice - you know who wins! Piegirl
