Yellow spots might be from stink bugs |

Well, I didn't think that in any way I would get this on "home-grown". I thought the off-season thing was either picking before ripe and ripening up in a truck, maybe getting frozen, getting cold-warm-cold-warm. Thanks for understanding what I'm saying. Now, getting back to my original question, why is my home grown like this? |

Hi,gdesmond.Glad to have you here! I think I know what you mean,but not for sure.Do you mean the hard as an apple,winter bought tomato's?There are some hybrid plants that you can buy at the big-box stores that the fruits look like that(and taste like that,unfortunately)and even when grown at home,the looks and taste won't change.What variety are you growing? If you can get some pic's of the next one,that would help a great deal.I hope they start getting better for you in the meantime. Sorry I couln't help out more. |

I live in upstate New York. We have had a very hot, humid summer. I have not watered much because, even though the plants get a lot of sun, They are protected on both sides by fencing, and I have mulch on top of the soil, so I don't think the problem is that they are dry. The tomatoes look great from the outside, except for that on the bottom I can see some yellow spots under the skin, which I don't usually see on very good tomatoes. I planted Beefsteaks and then another type, which I can't remember, that was supposed to come in earlier - end of July. However, there are actually three types because I'm getting some of the Italian types. They seem fine. I purchased two six packs of these tomatoes in the spring from a local nursery which stocks many varieties of plants and vegetables, has been in business a long time, and has a good reputation. Maybe I'll check with them also. I'll definitely gets the pics and post. Thanks everyone. |

I know what you mean. I've gotten tomatos in the off season at store that are fuzzzy inside. Almost like a pink fungus. I wonder. Don't know what it is. |

I don't have any pictures. I just threw out the ones that were riped and I picked. The pulp is "cottony" "pinkish" "dry", not clear, firm, bright red, and juicy like a great tomato is. When I get some more ripe ones I'll take a picture and post. Thanks for getting back. |

This is the first year I've grown tomatoes. They're starting to come in fine, but when I cut them open the pulp is fuzzy. I've seen this many times in tomatoes in the grocery store and that's why I don't usually buy them. But, I didn't expect to find this problem on my own home-grown. Any ideas, suggestions, remedies, maybe even for next year. |
