i have just read about blossom end rot, which is the rot some of you have described. this is caused by lack of calcium which can be inproved by adding lime to the soil. I'm wondering if this can be done when the plant is fruiting and if it will help at all on the current crop. i know it can sometimes help with current crop of tomatoes.
