Problem with Zucchini

Tarmar · August 29, 2007

I am having a strange problem with my Nimba Zucchini. It shrivels up and dies from the blossom end. These are pollinated zucchini! Some of them will still get big but it will be healthy at the stem end and shriveled up and dead at the blossom end. Some of them will grow large and some of them will shrivel up and die when they are quite young.

This problem is not affecting my Golden Zucchini. I have one Nimba and one Golden planted next to each other in two separate beds. Both of the Nimbas have this problem but neither of the Goldens do. The Nimbas did not do this at first, they only started doing this in the last month or so.

Could it be something missing in the soil? Something with the weather?

I'd love to hear any ideas as I really can't get enough Zucchini!
