Does Blossom End Rot cause stop of fruit growth?

Moguntia · July 31, 2013

Well, the topic pretty much says it al, doesn't it?

Due to my 80 hour-working-week, the headweave during the past three weeks and containers way to small I've got serious trouble with BER.

I noticed this little fruit with BER starting to get some color. Under normal circumstances I would remove the fruit, but it is only cherry-sized and it should be a cour de bouef.

I got the seed from a fruit I bought in the supermarket, so this might be a F2-plant....

So is BER responcibil for this near ripe Mini-cour de bouef or is this an interesting F2-line?

You can blame it on the BER.

Thought so, thx for confirmation

due to the lack of chicken it's going to the compost

No, no, Moguntia! NOT to the compost pile, throw it into the brown bin! The compost in public stations is heated to destroy every possible virus or bacteria - your pile doesn't produce that heat.
