Hi, just making a comment on the troubles with growing zucchinis in sub tropical climates. We have had most of ours going rotten overnight, and is also infested with grubs. Our problem is due to a fruit fly which looks like a tiny wasp with yellow stripes. We have decided to net our plants, as we are organic growers and don't use sprays. Fingers crossed that this will be effective.
