Stupid tomatoes!! - July 15th, 2005 at 09:22 PM
My boyfriend and I are growing tomatoes for the first time this year. We've got 4 plants growing in pots outside. They look damn good, they are about 4 feet tall with lots of fruit going on them.
I believe my problem is blossom-end rot, and we have taken steps to eliminate the problem but it keeps happening!! Whether it's a little fruit or a big one, they are getting black spots at the bottom of the tomatoes, which if left alone, get bigger each day. I researched the problem and we've tried to remedy the situation, but it keeps happening!
The steps we've taken are:
* removed affected fruit
* begun to water plants at about 6 in the morning before we leave for work
