Place dry straw under them as they grow.

Squash bugs. Sqaush vine borers. Sounds to me like you have bugs with sucking and chewing mouth parts that spread disease like blossom end rot or black rot it can get so bad that the whole stem of the main part of the plant can turn to mush! Look for bugs. Try putting a board in the garden and in the morning turn it over and see if your find some brown looking beetle type bugs. You should have a service in your county that would identify the bug and give you some ideas on how to best control it. In Michigan it would be the MSU Extension Service. Same name different state name I imagine. In the meantime get rid of all infected fruit to keep it from spreading. In my garden I have zucchini that is fine and some that I have to ditch because they were rotting away. Also applying a straw mulch will help you from spreading infected soil into other parts of the garden.

right here's a spectacular recipe i love to have once in a lengthy time period, and that i'm no longer even vegan! Slice your zucchini and squash once you've washed them properly. Slice a wide pink onion, yellow or white must be utilized if it is what you've attainable. Saute this those vegetables at the same time in somewhat olive oil with some salt and pepper. position the vegetable blend interior a staggering baked potato. Yummy!

This happens to mine, too. They aren't getting pollinated. Or ... I find ants eating all the pollen out of the blossoms. Sometimes I have had success with hand pollinating them using a fine artist's brush. The males have 1 stamen & the female blossoms have many. Good luck!

Pick them sooner, see if they are getting wet-rotted by too much water.

Water them twice a week. Use some type of pesticide.

that comes from laying on the ground . the only way to stop that is to get them up off the ground.
