I have some yellow summer squash and zucchini planted together in my garden. I came home from a week of vacation to find my plant was HUGE and had tons of baby yellow squashes on it, and one big yellow squash. When I picked the big squash I noticed the flower was rotted and it had slightly affected the end of the squash. A couple of days later all the baby squashes are rotting away. I don't see any particular bugs or other disease on the plant, but this is my first year attempting vegetables and I don't know what to even look for. What is wrong with my plant? How do I fix it? I don't want to lose the whole crop. The plant looks really healthy with leaves about 18" across and is growing and blooming like crazy. I have butternut squash and pumpkins planted nearby, so I don't want this problem to spread. I also have some flowers and corn planted in the same patch - I don't know if that matters or not. Thanks!
Squash do that. Why, I don't know. I think humity has something to do with it. When I started watering, mine got worse. Still make enouth to feed about 40 people.
