Swan Road Designs on Jun 30, 2015In our region it's called 'blossom end rot" and has to do with the contents of the soil. As someone already mentioned, you may have to add some calcium. An easy way to do that is to grind up your egg shells and place them on top of the soil. As you water, the calcium from the shells will leech into the soil. Or...you can go to your handy-dandy garden center and speak to their resident expert to learn of commercially-made additives you can use.Helpful Reply

Michelle Horne on Jun 30, 2015Yep, blossom end rot. And yes you need to add calcium. But they might very well need some magnesium as well. I would give them some Sol U Cal for the calcium and A good dose of epsom salt for the magnesium.Helpful Reply
