I've been searching through forum, internet and can not find out what is going on!
I have nice red roma tomatoes, but when I cut inside each of them, it looks like a green strawberry inside. What has happened???? Please help, I've tired of searching all over!! |

| I guess the lack of response means...no one knows heh? We got our seeds from Gurney, is it possible they were not Roma seeds?? |

I am so sorry..give it a bit I am sure others will jump in..but no I have no idea! Years ago when I had a garden, all our tomatoes were bright red inside except for the green and yellow ones which of course were not supposed to be...and I do not have all my garden books here so I may not be able to look it up..but if no one jumps in I will go search and get back to you!!! Promise!!

That's a tough one not seeing them, but from what you are describing, it sounds like the seed area did not develop. I hope you find an answer to the dilema you have with them.

..Ok, I looked in the books I do have with me and no luck...it seems just off hand like either you have a different kind then you think or some nutrient difficency. But I was not able to pin it down. So what I did find out is that you can contact a Master Gardener in your area or anywhere in IL by going through the extension office. I DID find that information!! Here is the link!
http://web.extension.uiuc.edu/state/findoffice.html
this will help you find an office close to you and you can then call and ask yourself!! The service is free and if your closest office doesn't have a Master Gardner, one of them will and all of them can help anywhere in their State!!
I do so hope this helps!! And I am so sorry I could not help more!!!

Hi, this must be very frustrating for you, thinking you have all these lovely ripe tomatoes. I suppose you could still cook with them? I found the following information about whitefly in Australia. The symptoms sound similar(under point 2 in the Damage section, it says some varieties show no external blemishes). Of course, this is a government department's agriculture information, so all the control measures are non-organic, but at least you might have found the pest. Hope this is some help.
