Too much water, not enough? My squash plants are growing beautifully with a lot of veggies. But some keep turning brown on the end and shriveling up. I've tried lots of water and I've tried holding off until the plant shows wilt. Either way, it keeps happening. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

Why does my squash yellow get a lot of small fruit that just dies on the plant?
Depending on how large the fruit get, it is either blossom end rot or poor pollination.

Squash borers eat my squash plants every year. A man at my nursery sold me Bayers Insect Control for this. I still have them eating my plants and there are no more bees! How can I get rid of these horrible pests without harming beneficial insects?
"The only thing I have ever found to be effective against squash borers is neem oil, applied weekly. As a bonus, neem oil is not harmful to bees at all. Here is more information:

We planted a raised garden bed this year for the first time. I put cardboard in bottom to hold moisture. At first plants looked healthy but now leaves are turning yellow even though plants are living and growing slowly. Please advise.
They need fertilizer. Give them a weak solution though (1/4-1/2 the recommended rate on the package), so that you do not burn them.
First off, the blooms are falling off the plant. Now all the leaves are turning a nice shade of yellow. What is the cause?
I have vine borers and have removed plants but they have small squash on them. I want to know if I plant the immature squash, will they produce plants?
No, the seeds need to be mature before they can grow into new plants. At least baby squash are good to eat.
