I’ve read that calcium takes care of the end rot on tomatoes. I don’t know if it will help this far into the season; maybe something to keep in mind for next year.

A single calcium citrate tablet near the stem cures blossom end rot in days, as soon as the tablet is softened with water and calcium begins to meander down to the roots.

Yes! Since Mr. Sg put a calcium compound onto the earth and then corrected the pH, we haven’t had a blossom end rot issue here. However, we have to constantly watch for tomato hornworms and those darned brown caterpillar-looking things that my dentist warned me about. (Stomped one of them this past week.)
