| Hello all. This is my first time trying to grow tomatoes and as they are coming in I notice the tops of some of them, where the stem attaches, is brown and damaged looking. I included a picture. Is this normal for homegrown tomatoes or is there something damaging the fruit? Thanks! |

| Something chewed on it. But because the tissue sealed over, the fruit will be fine. Just trim out the brown before you eat it. Have fun in your garden! |

| As long as the fruits do not rot, that is not a big problem. You can shave that part away when you pick the ripe fruit. |
