Re: Re: seeds/tomatoes

So- my tomato plant that had blossom end rot earlier in the summer has stopped having this problem. And the best part is- I did absolutely nothing to it (other that rip off all the effected tomatoes). So, I now have some very tasty ripe tomatoes, but have no idea what the BER stopped.

I only grow the sweet baby girl cherry tomatoes, but the odd weather has caused problems w them too. Several of you mentioned that tomatoes split due to inconsistent moisture so I made sure to keep them watered consistently especially during the dry time. Well, we've had two bouts of very heavy rains w a hot dry spell inbetween and both times shortly after the rains the tomatoes split. Lost a lot of them - and no, even tho they are probably fine I will not eat them if split. Still, these 2 vines produce heavily so i'm still getting quite enough tomatoes for myself and to give some to my sister and take some in to work. Tasty!

Hi everyone.....
Still gathering tomatoes to send, haven't forgotten. Have sent out a few, and will get the others out as I get them. I didn't realize what havoc the constant strong storms would do, knocking down so many of the tomatoes and the 
blooms, that area was flooded too much to  be able to find them on the
ground. Now we are finally able to get back there again, and hopefully the plant 
will show it's tough spirit and bounce back  with a vengeance!!
I'm now getting quite a bit of the Fuschia color Four O'Clock seeds too, if 
any of you want any.  I could add them to the package.  Let me  know.
My apologies again for the delay.
