It's April 27 and I'm so proud to say that my sweet 100's and husky tomatoes plants are producing little green babies. My retirement time is paying off. Your knowledge came my way just in time and watching Martha paid off too. That's how I came to follow your blog. Thanks! Dear Margaret, This is my first year to plant a veg garden in many years.

What I do not understand is our tomatoes are grown in those grow boxes (on our deck--only place in the yard with sun!) and the other plant in the box is doing fine--- From what I have read blossom rot is from over fertilizing or water issues... Why don't both plants have the problem? hmmm??

Sounds like you are having great success! And you are right: patience is a key ingredient. :) Hope to see you soon again and hear about a bountiful tomato harvest. (This post, from 2009, was about one of the hardest years ever for tomatoes; this year, 2010, mine are better, too.) Welcome, D. Sounds like you are having great success!
