Hi Joan – Yes, you can eat the top section that is not affected by the blossom end rot. I would recommend blanching or cooking the good section before eating it just to be on the safe side.

I was wondering if it is safe to eat dry rot tomatoes if one has cleaned (cut) off the bad parts ? thanks

I enjoy your e-mails and find quite a bit of the information useful.
I’m a small time gardener with a ten by twenty plot, but I spend alot of time in it.
Keep up the good work.
