The squash are not pollinated, you can do this yourself in the morning when the blossoms are open, mate the male to the female blosom, I sometime use an artist paint brush to remove male pollen and brush it to the female.

My squash is rotting on the ends. They are about 3 inches long and the ends are rotten. This happened last year. The plants are beautiful and full of blooms. I have both yellow and zucchini.

The fruit dies off before reaching maturity because they were never properly pollinated.

Either too much or not enough water is likely the cause. Look for bugs on the plants, also.

The plants are fine and so are the tomatoes when they are green. The problem is while they are ripening on the vine they begin to rot. It is not blossom end rot because that is not where the rotting is. They develop spots and begin to rot on the vine. I used calcium in the spring and Miracle Gro and the plants and early tomatoes (green) were beautiful, but when they started to ripen that is when they rotted. What could be the problem? Thank you for your help.
