Default Why no more new fruit on my zukes?

Hi All,

I am attempting to grow zucchini this year. I am a total
beginner and no little of what I am doing.

Problem: on my four producing plants, I have lots of
flowers but no new fruit. I initially got a very nice
fruit off of each plant. But, then for the last two weeks,
nothing new. I have lots of flowers by no new fruit.
The plants seem healthy (well, to me anyway). I am puzzled.

Do I need to shake the flowers or somethings to make sure they
pollinate? Any ideas what to do?

Many thanks,
-T


We got the same problem, but it sporadic. One plants doing ok. One plant is
on it's side. Yellow zukes. Don't have many, but they are huge squash.

I also notice the stink bugs like hanging on my green pepper plants, and
jalapeƱo. Nothing else. Some animal was clipping my plants, but it's been
ok after using fox urine product.
