Zucchinis all died

I am in the Atlanta area. This is my second year with this garden, but the first where my buddy who has the greenest thumb ever isn't with me. The Zucchini all were doing really well, even had a small one growing. The one plant with one growing was bought as a plant, the other five were from seed. They all died, first the one with the zucchini growing tipped over, then died, then the ones from seed did the same thing.
A few of my other squash had started to do the same thing, all on the other side of the garden, but seemed to have stopped. Also, hasn't touched the butternut.
Is it too late to try again?

I wonder if you have squash vine borers. Does it look like something has entered the base of the plant, and are they dying from the base outward?

There isn't any plant left to look at. It withered away in about a day. You can hardly tell that there was anything there in the first place.

Well, check the base anyway, if you have anything at all to look at. I'm wondering if you have something like voles eating the roots, if they went that fast! Squash vine borers usually take their toll a bit more slowly. How disappointing!

But before you plant more it would be nice to know what the culprit was so you could take steps to avoid it next time. Can you check to see if there's a tunnel underneath the row?

What does a squash plant do when its time for it to die for the season? When it has stopped fruiting. Will it dry up & die when the season changes.

Between the SVBs and powdery mildew I'm about ready to give up on trying to do zukes and squash organically. Three years in a row now one or the other or a combination did in my plants.

In my experience zucchini does not live long. after it fruits a couple of times it just dies so i stopped planting them. they also occupies a lot of space. I think it is too late to plant them. Perhaps late august when the temp gets cooler. Belle

I am learning a lot on this group. I always thought that a Squash plant will continue fruiting until the cold weather kills it., but I think I am wrong. For continued squash you have to plant the plants at 2 week intervals. Thats maybe why many of us start fruiting squash & then the plan dies. It only handles l or 2 series of fruiting. I don't know for sure yet. I am still experimenting.

Just keep planting them--I've had them live from the first planting in May til frost which is usually mid October, I've had big healthy plants die over night, I've had every problem known to mankind. Replanting is good.

If you have a pest infestation and have room sow the seeds in another spot, pull up the old plant and get it away from your garden, stomp on any bugs that are harboring under the plant. Keep dropping those seeds in the ground--they don't cost much.

greggygarden: Have you been using Miraclegro on your squash? It might be a fertizer burn.
