Q.Problem with zucchini
I had a great crop of zucchini last year. This year the plants have tons of blossoms and so far only 1 zucchini has matured. The others are literally rotting on the vine. This starts when they are about 3-4 inches long. Can you tell me what is causing this? Thank you for all your help.
