Any suggestions on when to add lime to container tomato and bell pepper?

I planted them yesterday with miracle gro organic mix and added pelleted fertilizer before putting them in hole.

Should I add lime now to prevent end blossom rot down the road?

If you are going to add calcium, don't add lime. It can change the soil ph, but from everything I read gypsum doesn't. Go buy a bag at Lowe's or HD for $6 and you are set. You can add a handful under the roots and occasional mix some with water to feed the plants as they produce fruit.
