Help, my zucchini was so beautiful and producing great, then the leaves started turning yellow and dying--like in a matter of two days. I don't know if I am watering too much or not enough, or do I need to fertilize again? Also, very important--some of my tomatoes have holes. What kind of bug control do I need? Is liquid Sevin Dust safe? No chemicals on my garden thus far.
The zucchini sounds like it has vine borers. Here is more information on that:

For other pests, I would recommend neem oil. Here is more info on it:

I have two zucchini plants. One is a lush, normal looking green. The other is light green, almost yellow, and considerably smaller than the other. Do I have a nitrogen problem? Is there anything I can do organically to fix the problem?

I have lots of blossoms and only two small zucchini fruits growing. The leaves are also turning yellow.
It sounds like the plant may not be getting enough water. I would increase water to the plant. Water 1-2 times a week for longer periods rather than daily for short periods to make sure the water is getting deep enough for the roots.
My plants are beautiful with large green leaves, but the flowers are dropping off and the small zucchini or rotting on the end.
This is blossom end rot. Here is more inforamtion: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/vegetables/squash/squash-blossom-end-rot-causes-and-treatment.htm
Year after year I plant zucchini or summer squash. I get huge plants, lots of blossoms, but no squash. What do I need to do?
It is a pollination issue. This article will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/vegetables/squash/squash-fruit-falling-off-the-plant.htm
I have a pretty large zucchini plant growing in my southern Arkansas garden right now and this morning I went out to water and noticed it was tilted. All the leaves were still facing up, but they, along with the vines, had shifted tremendously. Problem was, I could see a bit of root on the other side. I tilted it back to where it was the day before, but now that the plant is settled back into its home, the leaves are turned straight to the east. Should I have just left it alone? Will this damage the plant or will the leaves follow the sun throughout the course of the day? Should I support the plant now and how?
The plant should right itself in a few days. The leaves will naturally turn towards the sun, no matter how it is moved. Covering the roots back up was the right thing to do, and the leaves will follow shortly.
