Zucchini squash

Question

My zucchini are turning yellow and dying on the vine when they are only a few inches long. What can I do?

Answer 1

It sounds like it might be a pollination issue. The fruit turning orange sounds like they are dying, but just have not fallen off yet. These articles will help:
