it had that creepy fat body with all the fur. eeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwww
I’ve seen a lot of people posting blossom rot issues on Reddit this season. From what I understand it is typically cause by the plant having issues getting calcium and big swings in the soil moisture can cause it.I pulled all the peppers in pots and placed them around the edge of the garden. The empty pots are place-holders but I'm not planting anything in them until this heat dies down a bit. All the peppers are doing good after a rough start. I lollipopped tghem like the tomatoes.

I have some tomatoes that just aren't suited to my environment. One of those fancy heirloom paste tomatoes. But I have more tomatoes ready to plug into empty spots.

Ffirst for me, but one of my volunteer cherry tomatoes is a sungold. I lost the one I had to chipmunks, but it's the only yellow cherry I grew last year. trellising them like this is working like a champ.

I didn't take pics of the serrano or jalapeno because I keep eating those. Not eating this - not even if Joe Rogan with hair tried to pay me

I have a plant on either side of it that are both paste tomatoes and both fine. This is just part of the process of finding what works in my garden.
That Raspberry Lyanna that took off still hasn't made a ripe one yet. There's maybe 40-50 tomatoes on it so far. But I need to see if it's just in a good spot in my garden or if it's a good plant or both. Next year I'll have fewer varieties, but spread them out in different spots.
They might get past it and produce good tomatoes. I had some Roma tomato plants a couple of years ago that did this early in the season and then had no issues later in the season.

PICK YOUR OWN
Back when I lived in an area that could grow tomatoes, I found Romas to be the most susceptible to end rot.
Heavy bone meal application during planting usually takes care of that issue!
I miss my different varieties and monster plants I used to grow.
Haven't grown a decent tomato in over 5 years.

First batch of canning is done. I canned 4 pints of green beans and 9 quarts of dill pickle spears.
