All Summer my zucchinis have been high yielding with extremely large
flowers
and excellent foliage but a lot of the fruit have been Swollen and bulbous
near the stem and taper to a thin sickly point that is yellowish and rots
quickly. What is causing this?



Sounds like blossom end rot, IIRC it is caused by hmmmm..... mineral
deficiency, maybe lack of Calcium. I don't have time to look it up right
now (google "blossom end rot") but if that is the case then gypsum will fix
it, or if the soil is also a bit too acid used garden lime instead.
