Plants look normal, lots of green leafs and blossoms, but no veggies. Are watered and fed regularly. Never had this problem before last year.

  1. it cud be a polination problem,  do u see any bees in your area? are u using seeds from store or saving your own from plants you grow? . dont over feed,; and cut back on water unless they look like they need it.


  2. Have your soil checked for the proper PH level.Too much nitrogen will also cause no fruit.Switch to a balanced fertilizer like a 15-30-15.It will work much better on zucchini.

  3. Have you planted them in the same place for the past 2 years? Sometimes a bacteria can embed itself in the soil that is damaging to a specific plant and it will take years for that plant to ever grow and produce there again. Next year, try planting them in a new spot. Also, if you are having an exceptionally hot summer this year, this will also keep zucchinis from producing. They drop the blossoms in excessive heat. I had to put a tarp over my plants for the first time in years to help them hold their blossoms. It has helped tremendously! After about 1pm I tie a sheet to some tomato stakes and place it over the plant, the plant still gets the light it needs, just not the scorching sun! Helped me boost my yield from about 4 a week to almost 12! Hope these ideas help you!
