Default Zucchini squash going bad.

My green zucchini squash is turning yellow and soft on the blossom end
before it is even big enough to do anything with.

Any idea why and how to make it stop?


Most likely its Blossom End Rot

Gunner's suggestion seems right on. The only other observation I would
make is "how are your bees?" I often have this problem, for the first
couple of weeks, when my squash start to produce. In the past, someone
in the group has given me things to do or think about and by the time
I'm ready to do them, the bees have arrived, and the problem goes away.
