Re: Help squash plant problem
I have to say your plant looks great. The stem has a good dark green color, the older leaves will dry up and fall away, this is normal. Young squash plants will put out multiple male blossoms before any female blossoms appear so this could have been an issue. Blossom end rot is so aggravating, I know. There are a few reasons for BER and the remedy may require adding several things to the garden soil. Click here ~~~> BER INFO. Good luck.
I think it needs more water too.

Re: Help squash plant problem
Last year I thought my squashes were suffering from BER. It turned out it was lack of pollination. Once I started hand pollinating the problem stopped.
The stem turning a darker green is fine.

Re: Help squash plant problem
Thank you for the responses. I am completely surprised that the dark green color is normal. It looked black to me and I guess I freaked out. lol. I will look into the ber stuff. I never knew that you could hand pollenate your plants. I will try that too. thanks ya'll.
