I have serious issues with end rot in my tomatoes and no matter what i put down or spray on them it keeps happening. That is really ticking me off... Ive used drywall lime end rot chemical spray nothing seems to help or could it be all this rain we are getting thats causing the issue?

How long ago did you put the land plaster down?

I'm trying to figure out your problem but you aren't giving specific details so its making it hard. It sounds like you are getting plenty of rain but if its been sporadic with dry spells between the rains this could be the problem since this will block the calcium uptake. Another thing is if you overdid your fertilizer using a high ammonium based fertilizer this might be the problem since high ammonium fertilizer will lock up the calcium and lead to blossom end rot just like uneven moisture will. Or, its something other than blossom end rot. Pictures?

we had some dry spells then tons of rain then dry then tons of rain. The fertilizer i used on the tomatoes are triple 10 thanks for trying to help me again... Yea couple posts up i posted the bottom of a green tomato. I was thinking maybe all the rain dissipated the calcium in the soil.

That looks to be the BER. Yeah, too much water can cause this but infrequency of water will cause it to. Tomatoes are finicky and require consistent watering. Probably best to pull all the affected tomatoes off and put some drip tape down, lay off the fertilizer or switch to calcium nitrate if you think they need some nitrogen. Best to foliar feed using a cup of calcium nitrate to 25 gallons of water and spray the foliage and the root zone. If you can even up the moisture this may turn them around.

Yeah, variety plays a big part of it. I'm growing heritage tomatoes grafted onto GMO root stocks and so far so good but I do have concerns that I might have an arm or some other strange appendage growing out my ear being they may not be gluten-free or organic enough. I read that could happen on the web.

Are those the peas you eat shell and all like for stir fry or do you only eat the seed(pea)? Just curious, either way nice looking stuff.

They are Oregon Sugar Pod Peas and are pretty good to eat right off the vine not shelled. My wife boiled a pot not shelled and they are good tasting IMO. The lady at Mid-Mountain Feed and Seed, were I get my seed, recommended them to me and said that is what she would buy, out of four different types they had for-sale.

Those are the best. I can only grow those during the winter/early spring and I often forget to plant them because of the timing but they are one of my favorites.
