I tried to grow zucchini, tomatoes, and cucumber pickles and none of them grew anything. I watered routinely and as you can see in the pictures half the leaves turned brown/moldy looking? You can see in the one picture the yellow flowers on the ground which Look nice but then the brown moldy leave in the pot. What does the brown moldy leaves mean? Nothing came about they would sprout during day and I would get excited but nothing ever grew, just brown leaves on half of them?
Air circulation is vital. That said, Pa humidity has been extreme. Mold is from humidity, no air circulation, I can't say yours are on the overly lush green looks, but the season for most of these vegetables to be productive is passing. Older leaves on squash turn yellow as the plant vines, and can be removed without harm. Tomatoes- I should look at the plant again...but many vegetables are sensitive to the length of daylite hours, produce only within certain temperature ranges. This has been a strange summer.
Are all of your pots 5gal size? Plants this size need a good 5gal size pot or bucket. Clay pots tend to dry out faster and need sunk in ground, or sunk into a pot a couple sizes larger with dirt tween them. Your tomatoes are over ready to pick- mine get picked when not as red as that one of yours.
Also the soil you use is important, when you pull these plants, check the roots, veggies need a good bit of root room and soil that has good drainage. Then there is also the problem of feeding the plants- just enough, and not too much, but they need fed to produce growth.
