Zucchinis rotting from the tip when small indicates lack of pollination. Transferring pollen from the male flower to the female flower ( the latter has the bulb of the vegetable below it) using a small soft artists paint brush will guarantee pollination and increase yields. There seem to be less bees around to carry out this important work.
