white flies on tomatoes - Page 3

Well, this is disturbing. I picked my first Taxi. It looked great...from the outside. It's on top in this pic: http://i.imgur.com/WzuwoIo.jpg

Then when I sliced it, I got this: http://i.imgur.com/dtEURbn.jpg

It looks like somehow the black sooty mold that comes with the whiteflies got inside the fruit itself and grew there. The disturbing part is that it was impossible to see from the outside. If I pick any more like this, I'm going to call the high tunnel a total loss. I can't sell people tomatoes that are full of black mold.
