Why are my zucchini plants wilting?
I transplanted my zucchini plants from seedlings only a week ago and half of them shriveled up and died. I only have four of them on one hill. They were already hardened off and had been sitting outside for days with no problem. This happened only one week after I transplanted them into the dirt. The weather has been rainy, but it warmed up and cleared up this weekend.

It sounds like they may have not gotten enough water. Plants are especially vulnerable after transplanting and need to be watered on a daily basis for a week or so. Good luck to you

The plants went into shock like plants do when they are transplanted. It would be good to put more on the hills next time so you can have enough of them to live. It is kind of like planting seeds. You plant more seeds, in threes, because some will not come up and some are weak plants. You keep the strong plants.

You probably disturbed the roots too much. Zucchini and related plants don't transplant well.
