This is a Golden Girl and it has a soft fluid-filled area on the side and I found another one like it on a Creole too. Two days ago my sister found a tomato completely gone with it, like a bag of nastiness that smelled to high heaven. I've never encountered this before and it's just started. A close inspection shows no other fruit involved so far.
Any recommendations on what it is and how to protect the other tomatoes? |
What you have there is called sour rot and yes,it does stink to high heavens. As it progresses you can end up with a fruit that contains nothing but water from the decay of the inner structure.Actually it looks like a bag of water/liquid.
