Jack'd Up Gardening #16 - Blossom End Rot

Aug 20, 2021
1 min read

We've all experienced it. You look out your window, you see it, the first red tomato of the season. You race out the door, probably don't even put shoes on, to pick it. You can already taste the BLT you're going to make for lunch. You get there only to find that there's a big rotten spot on the bottom of your beautiful tomato.


Blossom end rot is the crusher of dreams when it comes to those early tomatoes. Today we talk about practices you can use to mitigate this problem in your garden. It used to be thought that this disease was caused by a calcium deficiency in your tomato plants, and that you could cure it with a heavy dose of calcium. This isn't necessarily always the case. Today we dive into the factors that play a role in this pesky problem, and how you can solve it.

A kitchen island can improve a kitchen reno by adding preparation space, cabinet storage, seating, and room for entertaining.

It turns out there are many other factors involved, and the same goes for Slope Game; sometimes it looks simple, but the more you play, the harder it becomes.

This was a helpful read, especially the explanation of blossom-end rot and how watering habits can affect it. Garden tips like these are also great for short-form content, and a clip video no watermark tool can make it easier to turn useful gardening advice into shareable clips.

Ugh, blossom end rot got me last year on my very first Cherokee Purples. I was convinced it was a calcium problem and went overboard with the supplements, but you're right that it's usually about inconsistent watering and stress. This reminds me of how patience and problem-solving in the garden kind of mirror the mindset you need for something like monumentvalley 3 online—you have to step back and look at the whole picture before you can fix the puzzle. Gonna try the mulch trick to keep moisture steady this time around.
