With cucumbers..squash and pumpkin, and watermelons.. the vine borer can decimate .. BT is good to combat or , use a tight knit netting to cover over the beds like a row cover.. or both..
For zucchini...Mulch to discourage weeds, retain moisture, and protect shallow roots. Zucchini thrive in moist soil. Water thoroughly, frequently, and consistently, with at least 1 inch per week. Water diligently when fruit form and throughout their growth cycle. The soil needs to be moist 4 inches down, so long soakings are best. Misshapen squash results from inadequate water or fertilization. Keep your zucchini well-watered, and top up mulches occasionally to help lock in soil moisture for longer. Plants tend to produce only male flowers at first, and pollination can also be slow to start with anyhow, particularly in cool or damp weather. Remove any weeds that manage to poke through. To keep plants tidy, cut off any dead or shriveling weeds. Top up mulches, using organic matter such as garden compost, to help roots stay cool and moist.

Do a soil test and see what you need whether it be phosphorus, potassium or more nitrogen.
