  I think that rain every other day triggers rot and here we have not had any 
dry spell except for this summer and that was very unusual in fact I paniced 
and wrote to Donald in texas asking what to do and then  like magic it rained.
In fact the Indians first perfected their rain dance here in the northeast 
and it worked very well. it was when they headed west that the magic stopped.
Our safe frost date is May 31 and if we don't plant our tomatoes the week 
before and survive frost free we kick ourselves but us oldens still wait. We 
learned the hard way. You can't rush mother nature.
each spring I have tons of rot, I spoon it out and pour on clorox straight or 
ajax and it seems to work. But when you have so many it is all work and less 
keeping of the statistics.  i will pay more attention this spring. It doesn't 
seem to be any one cultivar   just usually one of each!
