yes, I peeled it back looking to see how deep the color went. As you can see, it is just a thin layer of the epidermis.
I've been googling and googling and reviewing all the posted websites but I haven't seen anything remotely similar. The rest of the plant looks "normal" (knock on wood!). No wilting. Leaves are okay.
Although, I haven't had a recent soil test done, it just seems unlikely to me that it would be a mineral deficiency, but that's what I'm wondering. After a couple weeks of no rain, it has decided to go on a 3-4 day heavy rain period, so I think I oughta wait before I try throwing some fish fertilizer at it.
I wasn't sure if maybe it is a quirk of Sara's Galapagos, which may or may not be a true currant tomato.
