Garden weed ? hello, I am unable to show a photo , but from a description does anyone know what this weed could be: A very large leaf with tap root, it is covered in very fine spikey hair, with a tiny purple flower, spreading quite quickly, in a shaded area of garden . Also , some tomatoes have nasty decaying / soft scab on the bottom of tomatoes, any ideas what that could be, I have removed them. Thanks for reading .

As OBG says, Blossom End Rot. Still time to give your tomatoes a dose of garden lime!
