Slow growing squash and zuccinis NEW

Have just answered a similar question here. Wish there was a photo to help here too!!
Cold weather would definitely affect these summer vines, and the wet would encourage mildew, which is probably what are the grey spots on the leaves. Milk sometimes works but it might be too late by now. Diluted bi-carb is effective against fungal attacks like mildew also. Good luck and hope you got some produce in the end.
