Tomato Pests & Diseases

Is this Blossom End Rot?

14 years ago

These are the first two tomatoes my plant has produced, and both of them developed this literally overnight.

Some of the lower leaves are curling, and I found some aphids on it a few days ago so I gave it a good washing with insecticidal soap. We've also had several nights of heavy rain. I don't know if any of these could be contributing to the problem, or if it is a separate issue all together.

I'd appreciate any input! Thanks!

It's catfacing, not BER. Just as unfortunate and it probably will stop. I'm no expert, but this forum is so lonely sometimes I have to check in. I think catfacing is caused by cold weather, so it should clear up. A quick google confirms that and adds that inconsistent watering and too much nitrogen also contribute. So keep the moisture consistent, feed with low or no nitrogen ferts, and wait for the sun.
