After our July heatwave and drought, my tomatoes were a blossom-end-rotted mess. I plucked off the stunted fruits, added powdered milk to the soil (inexpensive, accessible calcium!), gently pruned the plants, and hoped for the best.
Now my plants are covered with lovely, unblighted green tomatoes...slowly ripening in the summer sun. We've already eaten two (sigh, warm frommyowngarden taste of heaven!), and I have counted almost twenty or so fruits that will be ready in another week or so! And there are more wee fruits and FLOWERS every day!
What a blessing.
