This year I had massive issues with rot on the end of my courgette & at
the base of the plants I had it on all 5 plants & then on my squash.


Any idea what it could be & will it affect me next year. Was all find
previous years.

Google "blossom end rot" for a million hits.  You are probably watering
unevenly.  Unless it is deficient calcium in the soil watering evenly in
future should fix it.

Both the House and Senate budget plan would have cut Social Security and
Medicare, while cutting taxes on the wealthy.

Kucinich noted that none of the government programs targeted for
elimination or severe cutback in House Republican spending plans
"appeared on the GAO's list of government programs at high risk of
waste, fraud and abuse."

[W]e have the situation with the deficit and the debt and spending and jobs. And
itıs not that difficult to get out of it. The first thing you do is you get rid
of corporate welfare. Thatıs hundreds of billions of dollars a year. The second
is you tax corporations so that they donıt get away with no taxation.

????  Would the courgettes have started to grow enough to get a rotted end
if the flower hadn't been visited by a bee?

Apparently they do start to grow while infertile and only continue to grow
if fertilised.  I am unsure how big they will get as I usually have to shoo
away the bees to get near them.
