Blossom down. It’s very surprising to me that the blossom nub can sit in the dirt without rotting. Rot only seems to be an issue when the ground or skin is completely wet for a prolonged time. Same thing with potatoes... in standing water a potato will begin irreversible total rot in about 24 hrs. Whereas in normal damp dirt not exceeding the holding capacity of the soil, they basically never rot.

120 DAP here. The bottom is NOT flat.

I want to try to get the bottoms flat, or nearly flat!
