Q.Having problems growing zucchini
Plant grows well, sets flowers, but either flowers fall off early or zucchini turns yellow and rots off while still very small. What am I doing wrong? The first couple of years had great success but the last 3 or 4 years had very little yield.

The flowers dropping off is typical behavior for a squash plant. They will produce mostly male (non-fruiting) blossoms early in the season and will gradually start to produce more female blossoms as the season progresses. The fruit drop is normally due to poor pollination.
