Janis: That's it! "Blossom-end rot".
Arlo: What causes it?
Janis: "The squash gods are angry."
Down at the 4H camp in Pensacola I saw some pretty spiraling flowers on the grasses in the lot where we parked.I brought a few home to ask my brother-in-law what they were. (foresters should know all things botanical)He checked and found they are a form not of grass but of orchid.I noticed last week that I have some in my front yard so all is well.

Putting a few limestone alters around the garden can help to apeas the squash gods. Pun intended.

A healthy dose of penicillin took care of my blossom-end rot.

On the bright side, the deer won’t eat them.

Now, if my cellphone would just weed the garden, water it occasionally…

It is caused by a calcium deficiency. Use powdered lime in soil. There is a spray that you spray on the plant but I have not used it.

Be careful when looking for answers to ANYTHING on the internet. Not everyone is truthful, or accurate. “Bonjour!!”

A time of drought followed by a lot of rain also causes blossom end rot. Also general overwatering can cause it too.
