Stem Rot on Squashes. Take good care of your squash plants to avoid stem rot. The term squash includes both winter squash and summer squash. Summer squashes are usually eaten while immature, such as zucchini, while winter squashes are eaten when mature, such as acorn squash. These plants are frost tender and grow as annuals in most climates. Squashes are fairly easy to grow, but a few pests, fungi and bacteria problems that can cause rotting of the stem.
Summer Squash. Summer squash (also known as vegetable or Italian marrow), is a tender, warm-season vegetable that can be grown throughout the United States anytime during the warm, frost-free season.Summer squash differs from fall and winter squash in that it is selected to be harvested before the rind hardens and the fruit matures.It grows on bush-type plants that do not spread like the plants of fall and winter squash and pumpkin.eat two tablespoons canola oil in a heavy 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. For small cakes, spoon one tablespoon squash mixture per cake into the hot oil and flatten to uniform thickness. For large cakes, use two tablespoons of squash mixture per cake. Do not over crowd the skillet.
