I learned this the hard way. When watering a garden. NEVER WATER the foliage (leaves or fruit) When you water the foliage you disrupt the male and female pollen transfer. I learned this the hard way. For 2 years I would hand water my garden and the tomatoes, peppers and squash almost never set fruit. They had plenty of blooms but they would never set fruit. Plus with tomatoes it causes diseases to form. Huh, didn't know that. My little garden gets hit with the sprinkler....I might have to find a new spot for it next year I guess.

I just froze 4 quarts of marinara in pint bags. I put 3 jalapenos in there. They added a little zip. I'm ready to start giving tomatoes away big time.

Is this bloom Rot? My squash isn't doing good. Looks like a couple of things, could be dry dirt, but more, to wet? Balancing act. Also looks like damage from stink bugs or cuc beetles. Cuc beetle get in the flower and really do some weird stuff, then they lay eggs that scrw with the roots. (Google for a smarter definition of damage LOL) I get a few like that all the time and just pull them so the energy can transfer to better squash, just make sure anything that you think is "diseased" is removed from your garden. Edit, I was thinking (scary) and iirc, I saw that allot mre when I was using a sprinkler, or hand watering the foliage as well. They need to stay dry.

They are watered by one drip head, and a spray head that sprays under the leaves at the base of plants.

That sounds good, any possibility the fruits are getting a daily soaking ? I have seen the cuc beetles in the flowers when the fruit is very small and generally that fruit does that very same thing. Bugs can also transfer disease as well. Cuc beetles are a major PITA.
Also that will happen when the flower doesn't get fertilized as well. Quite a few possibilities. I would go over them with a fine toothed comb to rule out any bugs issues.

Goggled this and they said it is due to low calcium (blossom end rot) I have had a few this year that looked like yours and I had a soil sample this year and I had high calcium.?? If you have a majority of them like that, then calcium may be the problem, but I'd bet it is fertilization or bugs. http://www.onehundreddollarsamonth.com/how-to-prevent-zucchini-and-squash-blossom-end-rot/

Like I said, I get 2-3 per plant like that every week, but the good one are so thick, I've ran out of folks to give them too!

Just bought some ssevin dust That should help you, another is the natural variety of permethrin. The thing I have come to watch for, is increasing beneficial bugs, broad spectrum pesticides take them all out. I have a friend on another site that uses 7 dust frequently, for him it is about the availability of time he is able to devote to the garden, but remember you will have residual compounds in your soil. I have Permethrin and 7 dust on hand though and will use it if I get backed into a corner. Knock on wood, so far Spinosad and constant monitoring and physical removal has been enough. Oh I did buy some beneficial's as well, but cant attest to their value good or bad since it's hard to gauge for me, they where released as a preventative so who knows...

Dad makes sure our yard is absolutely weedless and I haven't had any issues using it so far. I've heard grass isn't the best because it can cause fungus. But I haven't had any issues with anything other then those squash, and those are not mulched

If I didn't mulch the yard when I mow, I would pile the green cut grass in a pile to dry and decompose.

I didn't plant any of the cherrie tomatoes this year, always have more than folks will eat, easier to buy them for a buck in the tasteless grocery isle LOL
Thought about a small fall garden, IDK as yet. Maybe some greens and what not.
