How will I know when it's time to pick my zucchini? I can't tell when it's fully grown and ready to pick.
You want to pick it when it is quite small for the best flavor, 6-8 inches long is ideal. Plus, when you harvest when they are small, they produce more fruit to make up for it.
We have a new looking leaf on our plant. The stem is long with spike-looking leaves. The top leaves are not normal. They are curled with two different colors. The flowers are falling off and the fruit does not grow more thanĀ an inch long. Is this due to pests or something else?

I have planted a garden--zucchini, green bean bushes, lettuce, peppers, four okra, and two tomato plants. I have done lots of reading and have planted correctly, but do not know how high to expect the various plants to grow or what the various stages of growth look like. Will Romaine lettuce have to be picked as a head, or gathering leaves? Height of bell pepper and green gean bushes? What does an okra stalk look like in the growth process?
Romaine can be harvested either as a head or as a loose leaf, cut and come again leaf lettuce. Which is up to you, but if you spaced them apart, it is probably best to wait for a head to develop to harvest.
Peppers and bush beans will get about 3 feet high. Sometimes a little higher, sometimes a little shorter. It depends on the conditions they are grown in.
Okra looks alot like a mallow flower. Typically, it will grow upwards as one stalk.
I have several zucchini plants in my garden and they all have several male flowers on them, but no female flowers with fruit. In addition, they seem to be turning yellow. They are in a row next to yellow squash, which are green and twice the size of the zucchini and are producing both male and female flowers with fruit that range in size from tiny to 3-4 inches, with many more on the way. If it is a pollination problem, wouldn't it affect the yellow squash also?

I have just germinated some zucchini seeds. They now have true leaves and I am going to plant them. Should I provide them with any type of support (i. e. , stakes, cages, etc. )?
Zucchini plants generally do not require any staking. Here is an article that you may find helpful: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/vegetables/zucchini/growing-zucchini.htm
Why do I keep getting flowers on my zucchini but no vegetables? I keep getting the yellow flowers, but I haven't gotten one vegetable.
This is normal and will pass soon. This article will explain:
