Garden...FAIL.


So this year I decided to plant a garden.  
I planted sugar snap peas (all eaten down ground hogs--I got three peas--not three pea plants--three peas). 
I planted potatoes (eaten by something else).  
I planted peppers (they just didn't grow--I don't have any idea why).  
I planted onions (didn't grow).  
I notice from my blog post that I also planted basil from seed...I have no idea what became of that haha!  
I also had the seed and desire to plant corn, watermelon, zucchini, and butternut squash that I never got into the ground.  
I planted two varieties of tomatoes.  
Above is a picture of my Martino's Roma organic, heirloom tomatoes.  My babies that I grew from seed.  Seedlings  
However....dun, dun, duuuun--below is another view.  This is blossom end rot.  This is a physiological disease not an infectious one.  It has to do with the plant not being able to uptake enough calcium.  It was quite alarming--I'd never seen that one before.    
Welp, I hope that this might make you feel a little bit better about any garden troubles you experienced this year!!!  Can't be this bad :-)
