Bumpy zucchini vine

I did a search and didn't find any results for my question.

This morning half my zucchini plant was leaning the opposite direction of the sun, and away from where it usually is pointing in the morning. There are three squash on the vine, small, medium, and large, so I thought (hope) that the weight of the fruit might be the reason.

The problem is that in its leaning, I saw this bumpy bit of stem. Should I be worried? The rest of the plant looks healthy and I have at least 6 zucchini at various stages of growth.

I'm not sure it makes a difference, but it is being grown in a large pot and I am in GA.

Zucch stems sometime do that. Don't know why. But the plant will be fine.
