I suspect it's a factor of the droughty conditions in that BER is a problem
with calcium uptake caused by fluctuations in water available. The maters
are okay to eat, tho, just cut off the yucky part.

As far as watering every day, it's better to drench the soil super deep once
or twice a week, depending on the temps.

Good luck!

I'm growing 6 tomatoes in containers of different varieties. Yesterday I
noticed that on one plant, one of the set tomatoes has blossom end rot.
After all the work I put into these tomatoes to get them planted I was
pretty depressed about this. Between this and the severe drought we're
having in Chicago that requires me to water everything every day it
almost makes me want to just give up gardening. Anyway, would it be
prudent if I just pick the fruit that has blossom end rot so the plant
doesn't waste any more energy growing that one?
