Planted my zucchini early in raised beds. Brilliant start looked good producing well. Then these and later plantings have started well but the leaves get a shrivelled look around the edges and only male flowers are produced. When I pull these plants out the roots are quite rotten looking. Am in Northern Rivers area NSW so very humid with warm/hot winds.

Try growing from Sept - as you say hot and humid now.
