Does your zucchini get blossom end rot?

[Figgerlickinggood]

My does but I noticed it’s only on my yellow ones. My green ones are doing great. I saw this video last night that actually explained why. For some reason my yellow zucchini flowers are not getting pollinated. So this morning I went and picked the opened male flowers and hand pollinated the open female ones. I will wait and see how they grow. The video also explained to prune the leaves of the plants so the bees can see the flowers.

Yea, if they don't get pollinated, the veggie won't grow.

Lot's of people don't realize that tomatoes get pollinated not only because of bee's/insects but the wind too.

Not sure if it was mentioned in the video (my daughter is asleep as I scroll), but a cause for blossom end rot could be low calcium due to insufficient watering. I lost several squash to blossom end rot when my irrigation bugged out and didn't water right during hot days.

The same with end rot on tomatoes
