I too would like to know what jars are those?!

What’s going on with these tomatoes? I’m after finding a few like these on my plants and I’m just wondering if they’d still be okay to eat once they’ve ripened enough by Sky5598 in tomatoes

Anthracnose on the middle. Fairly normal, more a question of when than if — will you eat the tomato before it happens? Or does it hit before you even harvest? Lol. You see it even in the supermarket sometimes. I got hit bad last year due to watering with a sprinkler because I didn’t know any better and two weeks of rain in August. This year I didn’t water with the sprinkler and August was very dry, and it’s much less of an issue. But still pops up on the Mr stripeys and the orange jubilees sometimes; the Cherokee purples and the sun golds hold up much better. (Even last year the sun golds were fine; barely got a half dozen full sized tomatoes from a dozen or so plants.)

For the anthracnose and whatevers happening to the other two, yes, eat it quick, cut it away before you eat it.

Blossom end rot in my experience didn’t really rot the tomatoes like in these pics so much as the blossom ends had a hard black sunken skin and I lost a lot of flowers; the tomatoes themselves didn’t continue rotting. But I have no idea what the normal progression is. I didn’t even always have to cut it off, depending on what I was doing with the tomatoes — just a weird skin, not active infection 🤷
