Blossom End Rot

I found blossom end rot on a 6 more bloody butchers. I've looked this one up, and the variety of conflicting opinions suggests that no one really knows what the cause(s) are. Insufficient calcium? Inconsistent watering? It is not a disease and for most people it goes away as the season progresses. BB still has 20+fruit set and at least that many more blossoms. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

My california wonder bell pepper has set its first fruit, improved espanola has a bunch of peppers going now, I believe peguin has set its first few fruit, and my cucumber plant as a couple set as well. I'm picking and immediately munching a half dozen beans every 3 or 4 days now as well.
