I am getting black spots (hard spots not mushy) on my tomatos. not on all of them. anyone know what this is typical of ? ants ? slugs ? other insects?

my hydro leftovers make this veggie garden Fu@#ing out of control!! hugest tomato plant i have ever seen. basil and parsley are abnormal they are so huge..giant bushes ;o)

thanks,
BD

probably black spot. most likely bacteria or a fungus try true green spray on them the new tomatoes will be ok the ones already infected are no good.

This is the first time Ive ever seen them on the maters...hmm interesting that you have it too.

i thought it was something laying eggs or something , but it makes sense that it is disease or fungus or something..

does it just apear on the fruit or the leaves also.

I work for a major vegie corp thats in all 50 states we grow plants for americas garden centers at all big box stores. This has been a bad year for blight. black spot can b fungal or bactirial sometimes even a potas or phos issue most of the time not.

I'm very happy all our tomatoes were started at home. I keep reading that late blight is going to send tomato prices soaring this year.

We grow a few hundred heirlooms and have been treating them regularly with Serenade, but blight is still creeping on. Weather in general in our area has been great and as a result there's a ton of produce around, but it hasn't lowered prices. The produce stands we sell to retail heirlooms from $2.50 to $3.00 a pound, but greenhouse tomatoes in the chains are as high as five dollars a pound.
