I know this isn't funny for you to be GOING through - - - but I just gotta tell ya, the way you talked about it gave me a good chuckle this morning.
ReplyDeleteHope you get that 'mater sandwich from a large, juicy, grown by your own hand 'mater SOON
I've found that usually blossom end rot only affects the first fruits, then disappears.
ReplyDeleteI hate bloom rot. It has been cold here this year, my to tomatoes are still green.
ReplyDeleteI do hope you can save them matters. I know I'm looking forward to our first home grown ones. We just have blossoms on our plants right now. Hope your Thursday is a great one and City Boy saves the day.
ReplyDeleteBeing a farmer is frustrating, ain't it!
ReplyDeleteToo bad -- I'm sorry, it can be so frustrating, but you shared it with a good sense of humor. I had to chuckle too. Good luck with the chemical stuff.
ReplyDeletehope you save them
ReplyDeleteAck! Never heard of it before!
ReplyDeleteso sorry for your loss 'cause there is nothing better then a homegrown tomato on a BLT. My chile petine peppers turned black instead of red.
