Hi my names Kurt,
I'm a 26 year old guy and a pretty amateurish gardener, this is my second year growing plants. Have tomatos mostly but trying to get my watermelons, cucumbers, and sunflowers to grow. I do enjoy gardening as something to do on the side.
BUT to my issue.. My tomato plants were growing their fruit and I started to notice odd splitting and deep gauges. Does anyone know what this is? Is it a fungal or a parasite problem? Is it safe to eat? I cut into one and the inside flesh seems fine and un touched. Just the outside where these scars are. They are planted outside in a bed by the side of the house. I live in Las Vegas so it has been getting pretty warm now this time of year about 105+ almost daily now. I water them daily as well. Should I not?
I really appreciate your replys and opinions!
