Is this BER?

[chris]

Sorry about the poor quality photo, from my phone.

I've noticed the fruits (green sausage tomato plant) on this one plant are all like this (going soft, wrinkly at the end of the fruit - inside it's going brown/mouldy).

Pic attached.

TIA!

Doesn't look like it to me , I thought they had like a flat brown bit at the bottom......... but I'm sure someone will you correct me if I'm wrong.

No I don't think so. Sadly, it could be blight That tends to show as brown wrinkliness.

It could be BER, if it was the dreaded blight you would have plenty of signs on the plant, I would think.
Maybe BER shows slightly different symptoms on sausage tomatoes. Is the rest of the plant OK.

Hmm, I hope it's not blight. there's other tomoatoes in ther e(GH) with some spuds in tubs in the GH too. None of those are showing any signs of blight (as far as I'm aware)... might move the spuds out if I can make some room somewhere.

Hrm, rightly had another look - the other day I noticed the first picture - does that look like blight?

On these toms I can't see any sign of them, the leaves all look healthy..



However, on another plant (diff type) - tomato again, I noticed the leaves yellowing:



I did notice this on a few of the sausage plant leaves too - presumably, some sort of leaf miner?



Outside the greenhouse in planters are two sacks of Maris Pipers... the leaves don't look that great mind:


(more pics of the full plant, and the one next to it, which has been stripped by slugs can be seen here and here - please note these are right next to the lourve of the GH..)

I have some spuds in the GH - on this kestrel I've notice a sort of rusty red coloured-couple of dots on one leaf:

link to it as too many images!
Is that blight? Never seen that before... but kind of worried now!

Any help into what these piccies may be (symptom wise) would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Your last pic looks like blossom end rot. Blight is a dark brownish/blackish wet rot. The leaves will be soft, not crispy and the fruits tend to look mottled and dark under the skin

[taff]

yup blossom end rot. I grew green sausage this year, same kind as yours? , but nearly every fruit had it...won't be growing those again but they did taste lovely.

[chris]

Thanks both - yep same kind.. indeed the one ripe one I have had tasted lovely... just lost one to a massive caterpillar boring a huge hole in it - the only other ripe one - argh!!!

I've loads forming but thinking it's a bit late for them now... tempted to pick what I have and make into chutney!

That tom has BER - the earlier one looked brown and wrinkly. The foliage all tends to go a bit ratty at this time of year.
