Title: Tomato Soggy Bottom
Post by: rutters on August 03, 2007, 21:12:01
Some of my still green tomotos have gone brown and soggy at the bottom..what am I doing wrong? I suspect over-watering??

cheers

sounds like blossom end rot to me, but I am only a novice.  It's caused by intermittent watering as far as I know.  I experienced it last year with my san marzano, unfortunately there's nothing you can do about it except remove the affected fruits :(

Sounds like BER to me too; I've got it one one plant & I just cut the bad bit away - rest of the tom is fine.
