I have to say, though, I sure wish more bakeries would make yeast breads. I like sourdough well enough, but the flavor is just too strong for me for frequent use and seems to just take over and overpower whatever it's meant to accompany.  There are dozens of small artisanal bakeries in Vermont, some even attempting to grow their own wheat here, but they're about 95 percent sourdough.  What I wouldn't give for a really good plain, yeasty baguette!

Do you know, is yeast just so impossibly difficult to work with?

Did you get to bake with those different flours or just play with them?

I know a young woman who was subjected to this, and in her own apartment, by an awful landlord some years ago.  The cops and DA could not find an applicable law.  So our local state legislator got on it and drafted a bill, and the young woman who never got her day in court instead got her day in the state legislature to testify.  She was so brave and did so brilliantly that the law was passed in record time -- and ever since, because she acted, others have been able to prosecute such actions.

IOW, it's not a disease, it's a development issue, and it doesn't "spread."  Whichever tomatoes were at the crucial stage of development when they didn't get enough water will have blosoom end rot.  The ones that did have enough water as they were developing on the same plant will be fine.

It's not the end of the world for the affected tomatoes necessarily, either.  Sometimes it does ruin the whole tomato, especially small ones, but sometimes you can still recover up to half the tomato.

That's assuming that what you have is actually blossom end rot and not something else.  I'm no expert on the diseases that afflict tomatoes, and there are a fair number.  Are you, for instance, quite sure you don't have one of the blights?  So-called "late blight," which is what caused the Irish potato famine, very much affects the tomatoes.

There are some sprays that arrest it--most contain calcium chloride.  They won't cure tomatoes that already have it, but they'll stop it from getting worse.

I'm not "organic" so I mix a little lime (calcium hydroxide) in with the soil.  I'm growing tomatoes in pots this year, so I'll mix a a teaspoon of lime in the watering can once a week.

If you do that, check the soil pH once in a while, because lime is a pretty strong base.  You want the soil pH to be between 6.0 and 6.5, which is slightly on the acid side.

If you're organic, are crushed seashells organic enough?  You can mix those in with the soil and increase the calcium content, since seashells are made of calcium carbonate.
