  • "Freckles" on my tomatoes

    Hi guys,

    A few of my ripening tomatoes are developing what I can only describe as freckles. The not so ripe ones are ok but as they darken from orange to red, brown freckles appear:



    I've checked through all my veg growing books, checking for the signs of blight etc, and I can't find any reference to this 'freckling'. Can anyone tell me what it is, is it serious and can we still eat the tomatoes?

    Many thanks as always,
    Reet

    Reet, It looks very similar to Pox/Fleck two different genetic problems that tend to occur at the same time. And yes (if I am right) whilst the toms may not look pretty they will eat OK.
