Are my Costata Romensco zucchini OK?
I am concerned about my heirloom Costata Romenesco zucchini plants. I planted them 2 weeks ago, along with the rest of my garden (a variety of tomatoes, peppers, beans, cocozelle zucchini, and sugar pumpkin). Everything else looks great - nice and green and healthy (for a lack of a better word). The Costata are the only plants that do not look healthy - they're not nearly as green, but on the yellowish side and they seem to have what I imagine might be powdery mildew on their leaves. They're also not growing like the other squash. They've been flowering, but all the flowers have withered down (and even these withered flowers look "unhealthy"...even for a withered flower!). I have some photos in the link below comparing the two Costata to one of the Cocozelle and the sugar pumpkin.
Basically, compared to my other squash, the costata do not seem to be thriving at all. We've had a pretty wet and cool couple of weeks. Could this be it? Should I just let them be and see how things go from here now that the sun has reappeared? Any advice?
