I am not sure if they are getting to much sun or what. I water one to two times a day. The leaves are nice and green and growing great, and I am still getting lots of flowering.

Just remove the affected squash fruits and the condition should improve as the season progresses. Hi Carole, sounds like blossom end rot.

Got any ideas? I can't tell if I'm over-watering or underwatering things. Also, would mulching help the soil stay cooler and if so, can I use grass clippings? thanks, and I like your column! carole This is my first year in Reno, and my c-n squash are shriveling at about 2″ in length; very disappointing.
