a disappointment

I saw a lump of yellow in the tomato patch and thought i had my first ripe tomato! Unfortunately what i had was my first case of blossom end rot.

Further investigation revealed that it was not at all the only case.

Stupid rot! I then remembered i had this problem before with this variety -- these are 'Yellow Bell' and they are very susceptible to it. It is a yellow plum tomato. I also remember that when i had it before, i still had more than enough Yellow Bell tomatoes to go around, because the plants are quite prolific. So here's hoping that is the case this year also...
