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.


I think it's due to the extreme hot weather we had. I watered my
tomatoes very carefully and still got blossom end rot.
