Can someone help me. I have raised tomatoes for over 30 years and have not seen what I am about to describe.
The problem, as far as I can tell, is only with the red tomatoes. By the way, I planted half red plants and half yellow plants.
The first red tomatoes of this year, after slicing one time, has white blotches all over the inside. It looks real icky, I just have never seen it. Any ideas?
I appreciate any help!
Thank you

Sounds as if it may be stinkbugs:
Dark pinpricks surrounded by a light, discolored area on green fruit. These areas turn yellow or remain green on ripe fruit. The tissue under the spots is white and spongy and remains firm as the fruit ripens.
Otherwise, I don't know.
