If yesterday’s red Tumblers were tomato ecstasy, today was tomato agony.
Today’s photo is a bowl of Cream Sausage tomatoes picked and discarded due to blossom end rot.
Not out with a banger but a whimper.
There are some left on the plants that look fine; I’m hoping they stay that way.
As I was picking the ruined fruit a blonde question came to mind, or more accurately, a cream question.
How do you know when a cream tomato is ripe ? When it turns from green to cream ? How cream ?
Hopefully a sufficient number of the Cream Sausage tomatoes will make it through to give a definitive answer.

Question: Were your blossom end rot toms in growbags?
Hello,
No, this was actually in a pot. It was one of three different variety of plants that I bought rather than sow myself from seed. I bought it from the National Vegetable Society and had been well started. I am wondering if the long tomato shapes ( the picture was Cream Sausage) are more prone to it as sadly a few of the Roma tomatoes are also showing signs of it and they are a longer tomato as well. I have two Romas – one in a pot and one in a grow bag and both plants seem to be affected.
