Squash Dying

*

Ok, my squash has started making fruit but when it gets to sbout 3" long it appears to be rotting on the vine with the flower still attached.

What can I do?

Thanks,

Gerry, you can pretend you are a bee and become the matchmaker for your squash.* :dude:* What you see happening is due to poor pollination.* Take a look here.

Also several threads within the forums address this. Look in pumpkin or do a search.*

Bottom line... pollenate by hand or by a few mason bee homes for next year.
