Is it salvageable, or should I get some more plants now while I still can?


Hard to say. If it's just effecting the lower clusters.. then maybe you can turn it around for the top clusters to be OK. Lots of variables. ~~ You may try adding magnesium sulfate (Epson salt) 1 teaspoon per foot of plant every two weeks or so. This will help the plant with uptake of calcium and other trace minerals. Not really to late for a 'spring' crop, but you might want to plan for a fall crop. Check locally for best varieties and planting dates suited to your location. .... Luck!

My earliest ripening tomatoes have some of this every year. I should probably spray them with something, but I still get plenty of good tomatoes.
I've picked about 5 or 6 like this so far, and the rest seem to be ok.
