Let's see those '09 gardens

I tried to find a few good examples of the half eaten zucchini's I'm plagued with, but right now there don't seem to be any. I've got my fingers crossed. I don't think it's a furry critter problem, in the 5 yrs I've lived here (new development), I've never seen a single rabbit, squirrel, or other furry critter anywhere in the neighborhood.

Rotted zucchini. This is what's left of one of the zuc's that got eaten before fully ripe:

Another:

Cucumber Beetle. I've got a few of these guys on the plant, and seen 'em on my tomatoes too, but they don't seem to be causing any trouble:

Stink bug. Found these guys in the plants too, but again, don't seem to be causing a problem:

The whole zucchini plant. Should I prune these in any way, or just let 'em go nuts? It's my first year for these.

More coming after I get the baby back to sleep.
