Good morning DMC, have a great day...
Here's a link to help you out. https://www.hgtv.com/outdoors/flowers-and-plants/vegetables/tomato-blossom-end-rot

That was good info Bob! I don't have that problem this year (I have them in pots) but it explains the issue in the past. It was also reassuring that I'm doing ok with a good watering every day...if I don't they wilt something terrible.

Every since we moved to TN, I've had a terrible problem with late blight in my hydroponic system, so now I have them spread out on the deck in hopes of beating it this year.

All of my tomatoes and peppers are in pots this year. I've setup a drip irrigation system that runs 30 minutes daily just before sun up. It works well as long as I don't forget to fill it up.

Sounds like a good set up. I hope I can turn mine around. I wanted to can some this year.

Good morning

Have you eaten any yet? The couple I had that weren’t bad were sweet. The neighbors are too. I have never had tomatoes that sweet.

Is blight when you lose the leaves?

So far I've only had 1 ripe large size tomato ripe enough to try and it was good. The little cherry tomatoes have been awesome!

Mine are good too…what I get. My older little girl likes them and is waiting for them to ripen. She will be very happy tomorrow.

At least she's eating something that's good for her

They love vegetables. They were eating green beans off the plant, dirt and all.

It starts with the leaves but will generally kill the entire plant by late august.

Just because I'm a little geeky about tomatoes... Fun fact, Those you buy at the store are picked green at about 5% sugar. Real vine ripe tomatoes can exceed 15% sugar, but are generally in the 10%-15% range.

I knew they were picked green but I didn't realize the sugar content was so different. Interesting!
