My plants are doing very well, but as soon as the flowers bloom they fall off before the zukes have a chance to start growing. Everything else is producing fruit, so what's the problem with the zucchini?

Its common for young zucchini plants to only produce male flowers at first. These will fall off, so Just give them a little time. Also, once you start to get females it's a good idea to hand pollinate them. As the fruit sets keep them watered.
