help w/ raised beds

Trying my hand at raised beds for the first time. My squash is struggling. I made the bed with (estimates) 60% topsoil, 20% rotted cow manure and %20 compost. The squash is just really small. Everything looks healthy (leaves, blooms, etc.) but it's all very small, kinda stunted looking. No signs of bugs or disease. The 2 squash I have gotten took nearly 2 weeks to grow to harvest size (4-5 inches)once they lost their bloom. Can anybody help me out here? They're getting plenty of water and sunshine.
