Thank you Robert!!:beer:

How strange in the fact i am so good with watering these, unless the rainfall (2 weeks nonstop) effected them.
All my others seem fine but they are not ripe as yet so maybe they will all be like this. Oh well lesson learned!!

Thanks again :T

Me three! I'm just cutting out the funny bit, however..... I am having slugs eat them too! There is shiny slug bum all over the leaves and the stems!

Slugs hate egg shells as they are razor sharp to their skin so maybe worth putting some around the plant to stop them nibbling:D

Thanks Robert, just had a look at the pics my toms do look different though, they don't have a hole or anything.

That's an interesting link, I too have never had BER on cherry tomatoes and this year not on Roma either, although I think I did get it on San Marzano last year.

This year I have it on Ferline which is unusual.

You cut the tomato through the rotted bit BTW and then it's easy to cut the bad bit out.
