Question for Gardners...plus have you ever seen an onion seed?!?
Hey Green Thumbs,
I am learning quite a bit in this, my first year of vegetable gardening. I have one tomato plant and I noticed a dark black spot on some of them. I did some research online and I think it is blossom end rot. Do my fellow Steemiters agree with my novice assessment? If so, is it better for the plant to pick it immediately or leave it there? Without further ado, this is what it looks like:
This is the plant as a whole:
Unrelated, I planted an onion and it bolted. I only recently learned that that is a bad thing (and what bolting was). It may not taste good any longer, but it does look cool:
i would pick the tomato off asap, and you can leave the onion to seed, collect them and grow again next year, i did that with my beans last year and got 100% germination this year :)
Thanks for the advice. I just trimmed off 3 tomatoes. There are still quite a few good ones in there. I gave it some "Tums water" as I have heard this may be caused by a calcium deficiency.
I concur with @owenwat . Get that rotten tomato out of there. Do onions have seeds? I thought they were like potatoes. Cut a piece off and then plant it.
I actually did plant the base of an onion to grow it. I had no idea that they seeded like that.
nice
