my zucchini, newer, leaves have gone very limp hanging down from the stem,they have been well watered , wonder if it could be too much, l have grown these plants for years without this happening. They do have some potatoes close , also tomatoes carrots and beetroot.

Hi Marlene. I have exactly the same problem. New leaves are coming up and the plant is still flowering but the original leaves are all just hanging at the base of the plant. Nearby there is another very happy courgette and a cucumber. Did you find out what was going on? Stephen (far north west Scotland)
