Hmm ???

Mineral deficiency? Are the skins tough? Heat related?

I've got the same problem with aubergines - dull dull dull

Well Try Conditions. Cold May and a frosty may, dry weather, warm june, cooler july and a little less sun. I think it is the cold snap in may that has set everything back. I am exactly the same as you! The allotment ones are not worth mentioning. The ones at home have good trusses but small green tomatoes.

Dont Panic you aint the only one.
