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.

There be no bees.
Not that I have seen anyway.
There once was a hive just next door, but they all died off for
unknown reasons.

Zone 5 here after a very cool spring, and our bees have been active
since it first got warm enough for them to move.

What do you have for flowers, grasses etc. in and around your garden?-

- Show quoted text -

Standard Oklahoma flora and fauna.

A few miles of uninhabited oak forest 100 yards straight south, kind
of horseshoeing to cover south & west.

Arkansas river east of me, across a highway, past some businesses and
housing, about a quarter mile straight east as the crow flies.

Large (40 acre) pasture next land north of me that is Johnson grass.

Clover & Bermuda mostly in the yard.

Oil field polluted creak with willows next thing, just immediately
south of the garden.

Pecan & black walnut trees in the yard.

Squash is in a boat full of dirt and oak leaves right next to the
creek.
Next to that is onions in refrigerators turned on there side.
Goat and chicken pin next to that garden patch, and surrounding the
tomato patch.

Odds and ends flowers around the house.
Tiger Lilies mostly.

I sure miss my neighbors bees.


Sounds like it may be time to learn about beekeeping.
