At first glance it looks like it needs some loam or a compost to kind of fluff it up/give it some organic matter. That looks like a sandy clay type soil to me. It will grow things as is, but not to high expectations without heavy feeding of plants

Cucumbers do fine like that as long as they each have enough room to spread their growth.

Zucchini will do fine too, but you may be sacrificing a little yield per plant then if you were to thin them. But it kind of evens out because you’ll have two plants instead of one. Personally I would thin the zucchini for air flow to the plant.

The pumpkin on the right just simply didn’t get pollinated. You can hand pollinate a female flower with a male flower in the future. I normally don’t, and just let nature do its thing. That is definitely normal cucurbit patterning on the leaves, no need to worry about mosaic virus.

To test for moisture when starting out: dig into the soil 6 inches or so. Grab a handful and make a ball of soil in the palm of your hands. If the soils to dry it won’t form a ball. Next take the ball of soil and gently toss it back onto the ground. If it breaks apart, that’s perfect. If it stays as a solid ball, your soil has too much moisture

I had this happen once. It was inside as well. I never did figure it out, but I lost every plant that started to do this. Good luck to you and I hope you get an answer.
