(garden) What the heck is this?
Question:All our organic tomoato plants are fine except one. The leaves wilt no matter what and NOW the fruit has large black holes. Maybe the size of a pinkie nail. Very rounded and black. What is this? Worms, grasshoppers, disease, what? Thanks!
Answers:
Look on the bottom of the leaves. Are there small black worms? If so; Dispose of infected fruit, and use Seven Dust. Wait three days after dusting to harvest.
The can that Seven dust comes in is worthless. Just put some in an old sock, tie the top, and shake it over, in and under your plants.
It's a fungus. Remove the plant and don't put it on the compost pile.
It's called Black Rot or End Rot depending where you live. Dispose of the ones that have it on them. For the life of me I can't think of what causes it, right now, but it could be from too much watering. It's not from a bug, I do know that.
first thought is too much water...
remove plant now before the desease gets the restof your crop
