Is anyone having problems with the leaves on the tomato plant curling up? The plants are still producing blooms but not fruit.

Have you done a search on blossom end rot? This could be the problem.

I have a friend who is having a problem with blossom-end rot on his tomatoes. I can't remember what causes this or what the cure is. We haven't had a problem with it since we went organic. L.J., Dallas

Answer: Blossom-end rot is prevented by having calcium available in the soil and by watering properly. Water thoroughly and allow a drying period between waterings. Apply soft rock phosphate at a rate of about 3 to 4 pounds per 100 square feet of garden area. Spraying the foliage and drenching the soil with compost tea or Garrett Juice also should help.
