RB...did you add dolomite to your soil before planting your tomatoes? You can still apply a number of calcium additives in a foliar fashion that will help with the additional tomatoes that develop.

Carolyn still posts frequently at Tomatoville, although it seems to off-line for some reason at the moment...I have NEVER seen that happen. I'm sure there a number of informative threads there concerning blossom-end rot. I have dug up so many great ideas re: growing tomatoes at that site it is nigh impossible to employ them all. 150 varieties here in Red Hampshire; all plugging along...that doesn't count all the volunteers coming up in my raised beds...so many that I have just blown off using them for any other veggies...I want to see what comes up.

To: who knows what evil?

NO I didn’t

its my 3rd year on the soil.

I went ahead and did a light epsom salt treatment.

when I pull em up I will add some dolomite

I have 4 volunteer I call them free range plants and they seem to do better than the others.

Thanks for the hint on Tomatoville

I will puruse the site and get some hints as well.

Funny I had no idea what that was and I was seeing it on the green maters and its really ugly before the rot dries out.

THANKS for your help
