Will this hurt the toms that are on the other plants? should I scape it off? The toms where it is located are starting to turn I really dont want to toss them. Oh and when I bought them the tag said heirloom, and they are a blush color. Ive never seen this before. I bought them from a good nursery (not HD or Lowes) but unforturnatly they just said heirloom I wish I knew what they where.

With all that rain it's just normal fungal spores that are especially happy, ones that are in the air all the time and they aren't going to hurt your tomatoes.

If you want to take off the top few inches of the mulch to get rid of it and replace that mulch that would be one thing to consider doing.

As for what you bought just labelled heirloom, and bluish in color, if I really wanted to know what it is I think I'd go back to the nursery, b'c you said it was a good one, and ask what the variety name is.

I don't know of any tomato varieties that are blue, save for the one that Fusion discussed and no seeds are out there for anyone to grow it, so perhaps what you're seeing is a somewhat dark tint, maybe on the purplish side as in possibly a so called black variety.

B/c the only two varieties that I know that have a real purple tint to them I doubt would be found in commercial sales, but one never knows. ( smile)

I was reading quickly and saw it as bluish, not blush/ LOL

What a difference and "I" makes.

But that begs the question as to what blush color is?

I mean it would be different for red or yellow or most other colored tomato varieties.

well its like a pinkish blush. Ive always had red and orange toms, this is definatly something different. I will try and get some pictures tomorow. They are definatly pretty. They are not a nice round tom, they have character.
