Unhappy Zucchini

Question

I have a raised bed that I have grown zucchini in for several seasons, always fortifying the soil and adding extra soil, etc. This year they started off great, had beautiful flowers, but now I see that they are not growing, leaves have yellowed and there is no fruit on the plants. What am I doing wrong? I have always had a very healthy crop and am confused.

Answer 1

Did you have your soil tested? While you may add fertilizers, there may be a imbalance or even a micronutrient deficiency.

It may also be early stages of a vine borer. This article will help you determine this:
