Too much nitrogen?
Adding something with a high carbon content might help balance this, but as Newt suggested a soil test is in order to find out for sure what is.

The rotting fruits can have many causes, some related to nutrient imbalance. -

-We got a bit carried away when amending soil this year- the result being massive plant growth with small and rotting tomatoes, squash, and peppers. Anyone have suggestions about how reduce/balance nitrogen within this growing season? Would appreciate any advice- thanks!
What did you ammend the soil with? How do you know for sure it's nitrogen? You might want to contact your local extension agent and maybe have a soil test done.
