Spots on Tomatos
As my tomatos ripen, small yellow spots form on the skin, when the tomato is
cut, there are white spots in the flesh. I supose it is too late to do anything about it, but what has happened? The cherry tomatos are fine. Dave http://members.tripod.com/~VideoDave |

As long as the leaves of the plant look good, I wouldn't worry about it. If you see the leaves turing yellow (sometimes with black spots) it is an indication of tomato blight and that is something to worry about. -- Bill R.

Nymphs can be controlled with insecticidal soap; adults are much harder to kill.

Otherwise, you need to control the stink bugs. That's it all right, looks just like the pictures. I have a great many tomatos and just about everyone has the marks. Never had that problem before and afraid it may be too late. They all seem to have it. Dave http://members.tripod.com/~VideoDave |
