Beautiful tomatoes you have!

I have a problem of rot with heirlooms. How do you get such perfect ones?

ladyjane :" ..I have a problem of rot with heirlooms."

Blossom end rot occurs generally from irregular watering - either too much ,.. or , a mineral deficiency.
I have heard that some folks use 'epsom salts' ,episodicly, while watering to provide extra magnesium to overcome the mineral unavailablity.
