Uneven watering and lack of calcium in the soil can also cause symptoms that look like that.

EVERY SINGLE ONE of my tomato's that are ripe or turning ripe look like this. crying Rotten. Is this what they call blossom end rot?? Never happened to me before.

What can I do about this?

Looks like blossom end rot to me. I'm sure it has something to do with all of the rain and flooding we had last week. I read I need to add some calcium....

Maybe Epson salts at this stage. I have seen successful second crops when nothing was done. I put a hand full of wood ash under each hill before I plant. Prevented it from the get go.

Yeah, that's blossom end rot. You can add some eggshells to get the plants some calcium. Don't fertilize them too much.

I've got lots of wood ash. Can also grab some bone meal or powdered milk for faster results from what I've read.

Do not overdo the wood ash. A single hand full does it for me.

The pollinators are few and far between this year. Not many bees or butterflies around here.


One shot is all it should take.

Some pollinate them with Q-tips. Mission is to reproduce. I think they will set vegetables if you simply leave them alone.

Alfalfa pellets have calcium in them. Cheap and pretty organic too. A sack will last several years.

I went back and found your garden pics. I see you're going in raised beds. I highly doubt your soil has a calcium decency. It the ability of your roots to update that calcium. Most of the time it's from erratic watering, Too little/Too much. I see you said you had flooding rains. That doesn't help. I see in your pics that your raised bed soil is very low. So your roots are probably using a lot pf your native soil as well unless you tilled all that up and amended it well. I don't know how well your draining is or soil type, but they could be sitting in waterlogged soil. If not, I would apply a decent layer of mulch and try and keep the best soil moisture consistency as possible. Your grow looks fantastic in the pics. I would pull off and trash any tomato that shows signs of BER. No use in letting the plant put energy into something that it does need to. If you are using a high nitrogen fert cut that back or out. I would do an application of Calcium Nitrate. Granted I just said to cut out your Nitrogen. This is one application when you will need it. Plus the amount you're adding isn't much and it's in the nitrate form. Calcium Nitrate is a highly soluble and readily available form of calcium for you plants.

I caught a break on the weather. There is a difference in a light frost and a hard killing frost.

I used the same miracle grow soil this year. Had the blossom rot on the first few maters. I pulled them off and put a handful of wood ash at the base of the plants. It seems to be helping, have a few more growing, no rot so far.
I have one plant that was listed as a container type tomato plant, it has not had any rot issues. I have 7 tomatoes growing on that plant currently.

I was wrong on my last post. It was brought to my attention that Skinner is growing in totes or pots and I thought he was but the raised garden pic threw me off. But its still the same issue. Same goes for you at 68rust as it sounds like you're growing in pots too. I see BER in container growing more than any other. Inconsistent watering/moisture stress is y'alls issue. In a nut shell. When a tomato plant soil gets dried out and you soak it down it pulls up all that moisture and bypasses the tomato on the vine and puts it those nutes into the leaves to rehydrate and grow. Consistent moisture level is your best cure. It's either the University of Iowa or Nebraska that has a good/simple write up on it. I'll find it an post it

We got hammered with rain down here, blossom end rot was sure to happen. Pick and chunk, there'll be better days it's early.

I try to keep mine on a regular watering schedule. Especially since there was no rain in April. And yes mine are in containers also. Interesting that the one “container “ variety plant hasn’t had any BER issues. I’ll get the name of it tomorrow.
