Tomatoes

[tweedlap]

I need some help or adivise: As my Roma tomatoes start to turn red they get a black spot on the bottom. The more they turn color the bigger the rot spot becomes.

This happens on every one, not just a couple.

Thanks for any help.

You might want to read the "Tomato Blight?" post on the second page of this forum. If the spots are only on the bottom of the tomato, I would guess that it is blossum end rot.

yes, its also called dry rot. they need more cailcium (I can't spell) from what I understand the only thing you can do is give them more water. the black spot will soon grow mold. soon as I get a tomato with it, I pick it and feed it to my chickens.
