garden n need

[420reaper]

Hello fellow farmers, I don't know what happen this year but my garden sure doesn't look bountiful.Having some issues with my table queen squash.Has anybody seen this?is it a calcium issue?

last year i just threw the veggies staight in ground and fed them once a week with bonnies green jug nutes.and had great success.this year i expanded and used compost with raised beds.

Is it possible your compost is still hot? That particular plant also might just not do well in your area.

Looks like blossom end rot, the second pic for sure. In cucurbits it's almost always a calcium deficiency in my experience. What's your season and latitude, and zone? My squashes are fading now as fall is rapidly approaching. I'm at 38*N and a zone 7b.

Hi Seamaiden My lat is 35 zone is 9.i had a feeling it was..Owell start fresh next year.thank you

I think a zone 9 can grow a lot of things throughout the year. Try giving some calcium, like a milk spray or feeding. Dilute the milk 1:10. How old are the squashes?
