Hi, my zucchini is growing very well and has lots of both flowers. the problem is that when the flower falls off the fruit, the fruit still being very small, if I don't pick the fruit straight away it rots, but they are so small they're not much good. My husband put wire around them so the foliage would not spread across the rest of the vegies in the garden, could that have something to do with it. There are no grubs or anything.
