Well, much to my disappointment, I have discovered that the tomatoes in my new raised bed have blossom end rot. I did a bit of research and have found a few answers to my question of WHY?? my tomatoes have blossom end rot.

Well, after some internet research, you can see that there are a few different opinions about the cause and cure for blossom end rot!
I have decided to add a bit of lime to my soil and water throughly. Hopefully this will help any new or existing fruit from BER!
My first orange tomato of the season...fortunately does NOT have B-E-R!!
Happy Gardening!
