Title: 'blisters' on tomatoes
Post by: hopeful vegigrower on August 28, 2007, 17:22:42

On close inspection of my outdoor toms, I've noticed some things I can only describe as looking like little blisters in the skins, each with a tiny hole in the centre.  Does anyone have any idea what they might be?  I thought maybe an insect has laid eggs in them or something...  yeeuugh!

Its Bulls Eye.    Antracnose   Its caused by rain droplets carrying the disease landing on your tomato,s

I had this on one of my plants, I looked it up, can't remember where and found out that it was from water spots, not just rain, but says to be careful when you water.
All the other plants were ok, and the one with teh spotty tomatoes only had 3 spotty ones!
