freckles on cherry tomatoes?

jhouse · July 30, 2021

Hi all,

I've got some speckles, or freckles on my cherry tomatoes, a few tiny spots on an Early Girl -- we've had more than usual rain, storms, and high heat here in SW Ohio. The tomatoes taste okay, haven't really started ripening much yet, got some yellow shoulders & cracking. Tough season seems like. A little EB, not too much and I've trimmed it off as I see it. (At least it looked like EB and I always fight it, so probably what it was on leaves.)
Any idea what these specks are on the cherry tomatoes? I picked the Early Girl early as it had cracked & figured critters would get into it.
Thanks for any ideas!
