Q&A – What causes these spots on my tomatoes?
Question:
Can you tell me what’s causing these strange dark places on my tomatoes?
Answer:
This is likely not a blight problem. It is most likely a condition called “rain check.” This is caused by rain falling on unripe tomatoes, often after a long period of dry, humid weather. The problem is purely cosmetic and the fruit is still edible.
