Default A Few "First Time" Tomatoes and 2 Problem Children

It's always fun to see what new tomatoes look like. Rosella cherry is one of those and the first one to ripen this year. I snitched one from the truss and boy, is it good! It will be back next year.



The other is Girl Girl's Wierd Thing. I've never had a stripey one before:



But I've already found two that won't be making a return next year. One is Ten Fingers Of Naples and the other is Santiago. Both are the only two out of 20 varieties that are showing BER and I'm having a hard time getting rid of it. They've been treated the same as all the other tomatoes; same potting mix, fertilizing, watering, Stop Rot application, etc. Any suggestions out there?

This probably won't help for the fruit that's already got it, but I have had zero BER since I started using Texas Tomato Food for my fertilizer. You might give it a shot.

@Goodloe, that Rebel is really wild! The other one is similar to GGWT. I take it they are new to you?

@KathyDC, thanks for the info. I'll take it under consideration for next year. They don't sell it around here and I'd have to have it shipped in.

@GoDawgs, my 1st year growing Rebel SP...both are grow outs in our small group.

@KathyDC,I had a BER issue early on, but TFF seems to have fixed it. I bought a gallon of the liquid concentrate (makes 256 gal) direct from Urban Farms-free shipping!
