Whatsa happened to my tomatoes :-(
« on: August 17, 2011, 09:01 »
Hi,

Something appearsa to have gone wrong with my tomatoes, it is like they have only ripened so far then stopped or I got a funny type.

Have attached pic for some advice on whether they are ok to eat or time for the bin.

Cheers

 :ohmy: They look worse than mine !

Looks like a bad case of greenback and tomato botrytis. Cut of anything with grey mould on it, and improve the ventilation.

The toms may ripen fully but its more likely they'll remain hard where the discolouration is, might as well cook them up into sauce.

Sorry for the delay replying, been moving one of the kids to a new house.

Mum @ I had been using a simple tomato food.  Have I over done it or should I buy a branded Tomato food in future?
