I did a little weeding in the garden today, and found a ripening tomato deep within a vine. I picked it and inspected it, and found that it had a squishy spot on it. Look:
A friend suggested there might be a nutrient deficiency - calcium or potassium - in the soil. I dug out the soil tester that I bought from a seed company and used it for the first time ever. If the tester is to be believed, my soil is perfect, both in nutrients and Ph.
So.
Disease. Looks like anthracnose. Or some other vile fungus. I'll be shopping for copper fungicide tomorrow.
