Oh, SHIT! Blossom end rot!


So all the time Nick Eddy's going "garden garden cats cats cats garden the Clientele cats garden garden Nabokov cats garden..." but evidently I don't know dick about anything, because, though I thought we have been watering adequately, we have fruit, on a couple of our zebra plants, that is getting the dreaded blossom end rot. Plants that are inadequately watered get this, as the fruits can't spread the necessary calcium through the growing fruit fast enough.


I'm gonna try a cure (hydrated lime in water) that the experts* say will help and then really water a full half-hour each night and pray for forgibness from them green zebra gods!


* I went with the expert who looked most like she'd be the Bionic Woman's neighbor
