PSA: My tomato plants got blossom end rot right before harvest | Botany Lovers

I was so excited to use my homegrown tomatoes in salads. Now they're all ruined from the bottom up. Is there a quick fix for this or do I just start over next season?

Blossom end rot is such a pain. I read it's a calcium issue, not just watering. @thomas587 is on the right track, but it's more about how dry soil stops calcium from reaching the fruit. Pick the bad tomatoes off and try to water steady, might save the rest.

Wait, isn't that just from uneven watering?

Notice how inconsistent care damages everything, from plants to relationships.
