Okay, So, this is my first post besides the welcome board, but I thought I would just jump in. I am experienced in the message board life, so hope I do things correctly over here! I have 10 HUGE tomato plants, and recently have been getting tiny about pea size (not much smaller) black spots sporadicly around them. Not all on one plant, some come out perfect, and others not. I am lost. I looked into different fungus, and comparing pictures I just am at a loss. I just canned a huge batch last night and when I blanched them, the spots pealed right off and there was nothing under the skin discolored. Any Ideas? I will post a picture as I get out to the garden this am...Thought maybe someone might know right off the bat. Does it sound like a bug?
Stink bugs? They usually make small spots on the skin and it is very dry where they have sucked out the juice, but it rarely turns black.
