I'm growing green zucchinis this year, but something weird is happenin.. These little zucc's are about a week old and they are all just dying of this fungus thing.. Does anyone know what is going on? I've put corn meal at their bases to hopefully prevent fungus but it hasnt helped.

It is difficult to tell from the pictures. . . . it doesn't look like the disease is just at the blossom end.

What has your weather been like?

Are the fruits turning kind of grey? It may be botrytis.

Wet, humid conditions . . . if you can get some dryness the plants may recover. Get the diseased parts into your garbage can.
