      I guess that's what it is since they rot on that end . Anyway , I   
   read that it's caused by a calcium deficiency . And since egg shells are   
   mostly calcium ... but I read that it's not in an easily absorbed form .   
      My wife has a bottle of calcium/magnesium/zinc tablets ... I'm   
   tempted to stuff one in the ground near the stem and see what happens .   
   I was looking forward to having some stuff from the garden when she gets   
   back from her trip (Alaska cruise with our daughter and her family - I   
   got enough sailing when I was in the Navy) but it looks pretty much like   
   that ain't happenin' . Lots of stuff getting started , damn little ready   
   to pick - except green onions , lots of those ready to pick .
