What's the name of teeny tomatoes that don't grow?

I call them Teases!

I would remove the damaged one though! Don't want that to spread, whatever it is.

Yep! I removed it. I'm not sure if it was a bug or not, while the spots popped up literally overnight, it looks a lot like bacterial speck. Luckily no other tomato fruit- bit or small- was effected. Here's a picture of the poor baby tomato.

Po' ting!
The rare time I get fruit damage in the greenhouse I am thankful most of my problems are foliage, indeed. I lost a fair few sweet peppers outdoors last year, while the leaves were fantastic. Small mercies of the undercover gardener.

Yeah, as a novice patio gardener I'm learning that losing food to weather, bugs, birds or microbes really sucks!! When I found a cutworm gorging on my borage I scolded it "heeeey!! I was gonna eat that!!!"
