Tomatoes
Following on from the previous thread about blossom end rot, we are now
finding that those that didn't have BER are splitting across the top. Any ideas on the cause. I know BER is reputed to be due to lack of or intermittent watering. I also think the incredibly hot weather in July had an effect. In previous years we have always grown our tomatoes in a smallish greenhouse - open doors either end to create a throughflow of air. Although we still got some BER on the first trusses, we never had any problems with later ones. This year we grew them in a very large glasshouse and although all windows and doors were open, there never seemed to be a cooling flow of air. Despite being watered 3/4 times a day, the BER has been much worse than usual. Have decided to go back to using the smaller greenhouse next year - convinced it will make a difference Jeanne |
