Question by Fiestyone: What to do with blossom end rot tomatoes?
My first year trying to grow a tomatoe garden and after finding black area’s on my tomatoes I found it’s called blossom end rot. It’s on my green and red tomatoes. Our weather is averaging around mid 60 to mid 70 degree weather now, so I don’t know what more to do with my tomatoes. The one’s without the blackness are still green and rather small. I haven’t picked not one tomatoe, guess I planted them too late.
Are, they BER ones safe to eat from the top if I harvest them now or should I just pull them off and dispose of them?

The black spot is actually a scar on the Tomato Skin. It does not affect the inside of the Tomato. Peal / cut it off and the rest of the Tomato is good to eat, cann or whatever you want to use it for.
Next year, mix bone meal with your soil and use as a fertilizer. Also water on a regular schedule.

The plants are lacking calcium. Add some to the soil. The ones already affected cannot be saved.
Blossom end rot is caused by irregular watering. Too dry, than too wet. Water deeply twice a week and I mean deep. Like an hour or so.
They are good to eat even tho they aren’t pretty. Also keep them off the ground while ripening.
