Blossom rot is usually caused by the fruits not receiving enough calcium. It's an ugly condition that is NOT a disease or fungus, but lack of mineral movement. Too much nitrogen in the soil causes plants to grow far too quickly to support their fruit properly. It's certainly not due to fertilizer because I didn't use anything besides pete moss in that garden.
