Central squash and central ground cherries not growing much, not thriving

This happened last year too, with the central patch.

The butternut and cushaw in the central patch haven't done much, kind of yellowy, whereas the butternut and cushaw in the west bed against the house are looking great, green and vibrant.

The ground cherries in the central patch have kind of frozen in time, don't seem to be growing, not full and lush.  The best ground cherry is still the one in the container which looks great, go figure; the other two ground cherries in the west/north bed are decent too.

The tomatoes in the central patch all look good, though one is on the small side and of course the two determinate Scotias are quite small too, but look healthy (though not seeing much new growth on the Scotias).  The tomato in the container also looks very good.

The sunflowers in the central bed all look good, as well as the short, stocky, lush one in the west bed.

I'm not too worried about those wimpy looking central bed plants, since this happened last year and the squash ended up crazy productive, the ground cherry too.  So, fingers crossed they will pull through.
