Don't look like no mater sandwich just yet does it? ?
The foliage will suck up the water to fast causing the lack of calcium in the plant, which is a cause of BER.
We haven't had good luck with tomatoes in the garden. The first year we had to deal with blossom end rot. Took care of that with a calcium spray and we got enough to do some canning. The next year we didn't get hardly any tomatoes. We tried a few different varieties and none of them produced well. Last year, we had some blossom end rot again and then the 90 degree days didn't do them any good.This year I am going to apply some lime before I till the last time just prior to planting. That should take care of the blossom end rot problem. I'll still buy some plants even though Dianna is starting some from seed.
I'm not sure why you are using lime. I mean I understand that it was suggested to you. But isn't the purpose of lime to change the pH of the soil.
