Help with tomatoes - brown spots

Linny · August 8, 2007

I don't believe that this is BER. I've had quite a bit of BER this year and this doesn't seem anything like it. I noticed some of my tomatoes have a speckling of brown and/or yellow spots on the bottom of the fruit. Usually it's not bad and I don't even notice or see it when the fruit is ripe. Here is a picture of one where the condition has progressed a bit more than spots. The bottom is a brown hard area. I sliced it open and it looks and smells fine. No sign of worm or bugs in the fruit. My plants are in the ground and growing in a compost mixture. The leaves of all my plants look healthy and are growing vigourously and setting tons of fruit. By the way, the variety in the picture is a Campbells 1327. I know it looks heart shaped and it shouldn't be.

Here is a picture with the tomato on the same stem as a beefsteak shaped Campbells. The picture is fuzzy because my camera was fogging up in the heat.
