My squash plants look great so far this season but they have grown so tall and top heavy, with huge leaves, that they are falling over and breaking off at the base. I lost two last night during a rain storm. What's wrong and how do I correct the problem?
Squash plants are vines and should be growing along the ground. For those that have broken, cover the broken area with soil and keep it watered, they should re-root.
I have a small garden in middle Georgia. The squash was producing well until the bulb forming off the flowers started collapsing. Instead of filling out, they have collapsed and began rotting. What can I do?

Almost all my squash and zuchinni get about 2 inches long and then begin to wrinkle and get soft at the blossom end. They do not grow any bigger.
It sounds like a pollination problem. These articles will help:

I am growing vining squash called Zucchino Rampicante. I have a squash that is 8. 5 inches long and the flower fell off today. Will my squash continue to grow? I know when they are small 2 inches and the flower falls off they die. I guess my questions is when is the flower supposed to fall off or is the flower supposed to stay on the fruit until you pick it, otherwise the fruit will die?
The flower falling off is normal. It is only there as a receptor to the pollen. Once the fruit is pollinated, it has no use for the flower anymore and it is fine that it falls off.
I'm growing squash in my garden. They are about 10 to 12 small squash on my plant, but they are only growing about 4 inches and they are very skinny. Could this be due to pollination? I've started getting up in the morning and hand pollinating my squash to see if they grow any bigger. . . . Please help.
Poor pollination is likely the cause. Hand pollination can help as well as taking steps to attract more pollinators. These articles may also help you:
