My first tomato has made its appearance. But I am afraid there is some fungal funk that may be growing along with my little gem.
My mistake is planting my tomato plant on the exteriorbeds of my plot.
I have 6 Roma plants that look pretty good but these aren't on the exterior perimeter.
What would you do? Any suggestions?? I prefer an organic approach...

Another plant

And another

TIA
Re: Tomato help!
Hmmmm...can't tell which end of your tomato has the funk, but I wonder if it could be blossom end rot, which can be pretty common and I think in part can happen if the plant's been given too much water. Or maybe it could be a bug. It looks pretty minor on the green tomato, so I'd keep monitoring and see what happens as they ripen. Your plants look good from what I can tell in the pictures!
So cool you have tomatoes already! Here in Oregon we've had the coldest, wettest spring/early summer and are nowhere close.
thanks barbour! So excited to get some feedback!
Maryland has kinda funny weather but we definitely get four distinct seasons. Have to be careful with tomatoes...Can't plant too early or risk frost and tomatoes can bolt. Then by the time it comes...all the plants are falling over with rotten tomatoes...Happened my first year.
So I have to hold off until after May and plant...But tomatoes are pretty much gone by mid september...
I always think of primroses for Oregon. Heard once from a family member how she planted some while living in Oregon.
Thanks again!
