I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

Bush Early Girl is a good producer. Non-determinate. I know of one plant this summer that had produced 16 maters and still going.
Life ain't supposed to be easy.

Blossom end rot can be caused by lack of calcium, some varieties are more susceptible than others. Lime is a slow release form of calcium, gypsum is faster. There are some sprays you can use on the foliage also. Yup, lack of calcium uptake. The Opalka I mentioned will always have BER on its first set of fruit no matter what while none of the dozen or so of others will. I never have BER here other than Opalka. My belief is they set fruit early before the roots are fully able to take all the calcium it needs. But after the first set Opalka will pump out perfect fruit continously until frost.
