Cukes going bad on the vine

My cukes grew like crazy. I staked them up to keep them off the ground. BUT the cukes turn yellow at the blossom end, and then seem to rot. We haven't had much rain, so I don't think its over watering.

I don't know much about that. The bees have been all over it.

Incomplete Pollination??

Never heard of that. Is that kind of like saying, "My wife's pregnant. She MIGHT give birth to a child."?

Well the autopsy is in and it looks like nematodes. Now what? I've got maturing tomatoes in the bed.

Predatory nematodes. You probably can pick some up at a local nursery or online.
