| Do you mean all the fruitsof the variety you show or do you mean on the fruits of all the different varieties you grow?It makes a difference, at least to me/ Spots like that don't usually appear on fruits without there being some specific lesions on the foliage. So when you look at the foliage, what do you see? Color and size of the spots, surrounded, or not,by yellow areas,etc. And I'm asking about foliage diseases b;c in Quebec there aren;t many what are called systemic diseases, Carolyn |

| hmm the leave are going brown but the nights are cold and it is normal but would it be better if I take all the brown leafs off the spots are very small and then spread even today I see my cherry tomatoes starting to do the same thing should I pick them green so the spots don't spread |

| The more I Iooked at that green fruit I think there's a good chance what you're seeing is anthracnose. If you click on the link at the very bottom, go to the 7th row, and second picture in from the left are two green fruits that have lesions just as you pictured. To find out more about anthracnose here's a link to a Google search; https://www.google.com/#q=tomato+anthracnose The reason I was a bit confused at first is b'c usually one sees it on ripe fruits, but the fruits are infected when they are green as you'll find out when you read several of the links in the search link above. Hope that helps, Carolyn |
