Default Tasteless Tomatoes

This year we grew, amongst others, some Indigo Rose tomatoes out on our
allotment. What a waste of time and effort. Despite daily watering they
suffered badly from Blossom End Rot, a bit of rain and then they
started splitting, took ages to ripen too. Finally got to taste a
decent one and just no taste at all certainly compared to Ferline. A
failed experiment.


Similar here, despite daily watering my plum tomatoes got blossom end
rot, the ones that didn't haven't ripened. However my cherry tomatoes,
"black cherry" haven been a huge success. Two out of three plants anyway.
I wouldn't necessarily blame your Indigo Rose. It's been a very hot
summer, unusual. I'd try them again next year.
