Are bugs eating my tomatoes or do they have disease?!?! We dust them with seven dust regularly. I know them being heirlooms they grow funky

I literally asked the same question earlier!

I talked to my mom and she said the black one it blossom flower rot and the other looks like a bug or work got ahold of it

### Daril commented on 2024-06-25

Thanks! Mine look similar to the other one - so I guess something ate mine.

Check the underside of the leaves, that’s where the bugs love to hide! Let us know if you see any.

Blossom end rot means not enough calcium. Make sure you are fertilizing regularly with a fertilizer that is intended for tomatoes.

I just bought some today! Thanks!

Yay! Welcome.😊

Seven spray is a little easier than the dust. For fertilizer for the tomatoes I love mater magic
