My squash always starts off great, they flower and when the fruit starts to grow it shrivels up and the ends turn brown and falls off. This happens with zucchini as well. Any suggestions?

If the plant flowers and just produces a tiny fruit that turns yellow and drops off, then you have a pollination problem."
You need to hand pollinate!!!

Pinch off some of the flowers so more of the nutrients will go to the remaining flowers to fruit. Go for quality not quantity.

You may not be watering it enough, or too much! Do you fertilize it?
