Default What does it mean if Zukes ...

Hi All,

No lawn watering this year. And, I got a watering wand.
I stick it under the canopy and blast away. So far, no
white powder mold. Yipee. I adjust the amount of water
till the leaves stopped wilting at the hottest part of
day. The little dears get pampered.

What does it mean when zukes:

1) their leaves start turning yellow? Am I missing
a nutrient? (Leaves and not wilting.) I Have this
on one plant on each side of the yard.

2) The zukes plants (5) on the side of the yard that are shaded
by the tomatoes are huge. But only one fruit per plant this
years. Lot of flowers though. Only one failed fruit in the
past two weeks. The plants on the other side of the yard
with direct sunlight are much smaller. And I get 1 to 2 fruit
off each of them each week. What does this mean?

Many thanks,
-T
