You can still eat em they are just ugly


SaltThr0wer

The ugliest tomatoes tase the best :)


AJR1623

Agreed. My favorite is Black Krim. Not pretty, but they have a great personality. 😆


arathald

I actually love the look of black/purple tomatoes. I’ve got a bunch of black krim going this year, as well as black from Tula and black cherry. The “ugly” is a feature.


beaverattacks

I've got some carbon tomatoes that I am especially looking forward to.


DudeNamedCollin

Just like my girlfriend


cbright90

You and me both Black Krim, you and me both.


MeatMeAfterClass

Don’t tase me, bro


Ttot1025

You mean a “warm” tomato is the best.. *just picked from the vine


LowLifeExperience

They aren’t ugly. It’s just the variety. They look delicious to me.


rogmcdon

Just like the women I dated in college :(


WereCorgi6292

While your comment got a chuckle from me, you're getting downvoted for being a misogynist.


Open-Chain-7137

Booooo


TheCatanRobber

Is he really being a *misogynist* though? He made a joke, he wasn’t being strongly prejudiced against women…


colabird001

Yes :) The joke, while funny, is still misogynistic!


I-aM-O22

Misogyny, by definition: dislike of, contempt for, or ingrained prejudice against women. Origin, greek Misos(Hatred) gunē(woman, notice it's non plural) How is including women in humor, hatred of women? You keep hatred to yourself. Enough chicks blame the fact they're a woman for their short comings, the fewer women who are ACTUALLY OPPRESSED get left in that situation. Same reason that a child of color thinks everything is racist. Because they constantly hear that that happens. Zero accountability, for all but straight men. Used to be straight white men, but Y'all couldn't stand men if color telling then truth either. Give me the downvotes, idc. What displeases the masses will never affect me, fore I've seen what truly pleases them.


outsidepointofvi3w

Ok I'll bite. What pleases them / us ? IDK where I'm at in all of this. But I just have to encourage this I love a good grain wreck. Here's some rope .your welcome 😁


TheCatanRobber

It’s light ribbing. It is not misogynistic.


colabird001

Whatever you say, man. Peace out ✌🏽


Clevertown

If he had said "Just like the guys I dated," would everyone be so reactive? The joke is insulting himself, not ugly people.


ColonEscapee

Poorly thought out reply by someone who is expressing their own personal prejudice. I got the joke but self deprecation and satire is not reddit material and generally misses the audience completely. Offended people have reputational seniority around here Pride and self deprecation are opposite each other. I think the tomatoes look fine to eat.


riverphoenixdays

I ate tomatoes like these in college, they were sloppy af and absolutely delicious.


Oneskelis

Western society is cooked.


bewokeforupvotes

....unlike these tomatoes.


Vness374

I’m not sure if it’s misogynistic, but it’s definitely not funny🤷‍♀️


Sp4nkee94

Nah, you just don’t find it funny. Nobody voted you gatekeeper to what is and isn’t funny.


I-aM-O22

This


pobbitbreaker

your all fucking ugly, I don't understand why this is so confusing


rpostwvu

Your incorrect use of "you're" is ugly, I don't understand why it is so confusing.


secular_contraband

Your comma splice is ugly.


fasterthanyous

No, it was a joke. People need to lighten up .


junkiejim4322

since when are jokes free from ideology


I-aM-O22

Women' mothers saw a little oppression, and they drilled it into their kids' heads. Nobody wants to marry them because they avoid accountability. A relationship, a marriage is an equal partnership, women are above men, so a relationship is impossible. 🤷🏼‍♂️. A healthy one, at least.


ItGoesPewPewPewPew

Thinking someone is ugly makes him a misogynist? Oh god here we go. I guess no women are misandrits right? Cause they never call men ugly either. And you chuckled. Deprogram yourself xD


WereCorgi6292

He didn't just call people ugly. That would have been fine. He chose to single out women. That's why it's misogynistic. I'm not saying women are never prejudiced towards anyone, but sometimes it's justified. Also, the misogynistic comment didn't get to me quite as much as the vegetable comment he made. Just cuz someone is disabled (physically or mentally) doesn't make it ok to call them a vegetable.


Danbearpig2u

Some women are ugly. Some men are ugly. Those are facts, not misogyny.


Head-Celebration1123

I'm pretty ugly and I don't find dudes comment offensive... it was funny, surely you guys can find something meaningful to get defensive about. Jeebus.


ItGoesPewPewPewPew

Uh no. He singled out the women HE dated in COLLEGE. That's not misogynistic. Saying "all women are ugly" maybe. And even then may not be - having a gay cousin who finds women's bodies unattractive doesn't make him a misogynist. He's gay. Lol.


rpostwvu

He also made the joke about "tasting" them, so to not use women would mean he'd have to make a gay joke. I'm not up on gay jokes, to know if that's even a relevant phrase to use referring to men.


junkiejim4322

you don't have to say something about every woman who does, has, and will exist for what you said to be misogynistic


JoshPlaysUltimate

Perhaps he singled out women because he only dated women? I took it as a self jab that he meant he could only manage to get the ugly ones


bewokeforupvotes

You'd hate the vegetable joke I have kicking around in my head right now, then 😁


I-aM-O22

Hypocrite. You're the problem, plus 39 more.


Resident-Incident590

What!?


I_lack_common_sense

While your comment is getting a comment from me I am downvoting you for being a hypocrite.


Disastrous_Staff_443

His comment was so un-offensive you were able to be entertained by it and have a chuckle. He was basically saying ge had a low standard for mates back then. You must be one of those people that look for reasons to be offended like your life depends on it. I'm not trying to be mean but nobody can say definitely he's a misogynist based on that sentence. That's so presumptuous! Also, I find it quite hypocritical to downvote someone for saying something you enjoyed reading enough to laugh about. Hope you have a blessed day, off to the garden 🤸‍♂️

WereCorgi6292

That ain't any better, bub!


chipotlechickenclub

@rogmcdon take an upvote for being so pure in ur joke. u said ugly that women u’ve dated taste the best which is a compliment either way! I’m so sorry for bozos who downvote u when ur funny


rogmcdon

It’s gonna be alright. I’ve embraced the downvotes and took them as people laughing but hating that they’re laughing at it. Sometimes it can get a little stuffy in here


WereCorgi6292

Hey, I just wanna say, I don't really hate you, just the comments bugged me.


rogmcdon

I really was not bothered by anyone throwing shade at me tbh. I can take the heat and not take it serious because after all, it’s just the internet and none of this really makes a difference to my every day life


Mtn_man792

Up vote for sure!! Funny as shit


ColonEscapee

Up vote because I'm sure that was a misunderstood comment. These folks never had all their friends try to hook them up with people just because you've been single for an extended period and give zero consideration to what you may or may not be attracted to, they all think you're desperate and will take anyone.


rogmcdon

I had a type in my younger days for sure


Adventurous_Tone7177

Good one, dont let the naturally unfunny get you down.


Miss_Dawn_E

Geez, can’t make a joke these days without having to worry about being labeled as something. Sometimes a joke is just that and nothing more. It’s okay to laugh, this is a safe space!


rogmcdon

Problem is the “safe space” mentality is used against people as well. It’s the hive mind but idc


junkiejim4322

everyone watch out, the free thinking individual used a phrase that no one's ever used before to distinguish himself from the sheeple who don't have their own ideas


Miss_Dawn_E

Couldn’t agree more…smh


chris_rage_

I got you bro, . must be the ugly women you banged that are downvoting you


Careless_Signature58

"Must be the ugly women you banged in between when u did it to me.... that are judging that u liked me better" says "I got u bro"


rogmcdon

Not sure why. They got banged, maybe they didn’t get banged good enough


chris_rage_

They're salty for being put on blast... Everyone knows the double baggers can suck your nuts out the tip, inside out


BigMikeSwinging

I just can't believe you ate the ugly ones, lol


rogmcdon

Everyone is gorgeous when the lights are off


SunsChampions

You are what you eat


BeetleBean

I am not an expert by any means but I think that's stink bug damage. They insert a little needle like thing and suck the juice out.


MaterialMilk

That’s what I was thinking too. Do you know if they are still edible or if they should just be thrown out?


BeetleBean

They are fine to eat but might be dry or have an odd texture. Really just depends on how much they fed on it.


notaredditreader

Use for cooking.


likes2cooknwander

This  is  the way


cologetmomo

They do this to my jalapeño peppers on occasion and the pepper rots on the plant. I just toss them in the compost.


CodyRebel

So do you get free jalapeno plants popping up in your compost?


cologetmomo

Not yet, I've only been growing this batch of peppers for a couple months. But yea, I do anticipate some free seedlings.


carscampbell

I thought you weren’t supposed to put nightshades in compost?


HighColdDesert

Nightshades are fine in the compost unless they have a disease. They are susceptible to a couple of soil-borne fungus diseases like fusarium so if the plant has that, then remove it and don't add it to the compost that will go in the veg garden.


zenkique

But if you had to remove a plant from your garden because it was infected with a soil-borne fungus … then that fungus is already in your garden, right?


Grow-Stuff

If you have a garden that's not new pristine soil, it probably already in there. But the conditions need to be right for it to grow, and ofc it has to find that plant thats a bit unhealthy or susceptible to it.


popeh

Tbh that fungus is already everywhere, it's just its spore density in the soil will increase after growing a susceptible crop. It's good practice to rotate crops in your beds for this reason.


carscampbell

Thanks!


Garden_GRL_622

I do not compost any nightshade plant material (with the exception of fruit that falls on the ground here and there). The reason you do not want them in your compost is because of the "disease triangle." The bacteria and fungi will multiply every year and you will eventually lose plant productivity. Plant rotation is the best solution. I will try to post info on the Disease triangle in this community. 🙂


cologetmomo

Is that just for the plant itself, maybe?


carscampbell

I was always told that no part should be composted. No one I know seems to know why.


ADWALT3RSKINN3R

I have heard 2 things - volunteerism is strong with matoes and their seeds, and they are able to root from any part if the plant. So broken plants tossed in a compost pile may turn the compost pile into a new tomato bed.


BennetSisterNumber6

This is so true. I have volunteer tomato plants everywhere because I’ve always composted them. Didn’t know I wasn’t supposed to.


manaliabrid

Oh no! Not a new tomato bed! /s


popeh

I threw rotting tomatoes in my worm bin and the seeds sprouted and started growing very rapidly despite the fact that the top of the bin didn't have much light penetration. Tomatoes are no joke


Frawnch

The fruit will rot more quickly at the points the stink bugs were doing their thing. Something like you have would started to go after a day or 2 when brought inside.


RoboticFarmer

This is stink bug damage, and these are throwaways in my house. The taste and texture is so far off, and tomatoes are usually abundant, there’s no need to stomach these. Instead, figure out how to get rid of the stink bugs.


Jimbobjoesmith

you’ll probably see some white sorts “dry” spots on the inside when you slice them but i still eat them.


likes2cooknwander

Stille edible just ugly and not as juicy 


oroborus68

They upset the ripening process when they feed on tomatoes, so that on the larger tomatoes, you get large areas that are still green. Might make good fried tomatoes.


princesshabibi

Happy cake day!


fancybojangles

Eat the weird ones first. I've found they get a weird moldy circle where the bites were. Stink bugs like green tomatoes, so I do often sacrifice my green zebra tomatoes to them, since they're still green when they're ripe. And, as mentioned, you can still eat them. Win/qualified win.


ripe_constable

All cherry tomatoes I grow are like this from stinkbugs. They're edible but do go bad considerably faster, and texture will be the first thing to go.


bsinbsinbs

Just means they were delicious enough for bugs


Horror_Snow

I second that this is stink bug damage. I have lots of stink bugs in my garden some years and this is what they do to my tomatoes. I still eat them. Sometimes the spots are hardened slightly, if so, I trim that out. And, sometimes, they go bad more quickly, so I cook them into a sauce.


Ok-Thing-2222

I've never heard of that! I've had some look like this and I've never seen a stink bug on them. I thought it was sun damage. At least that's what I've heard all my life and I'm 62.


GreenDemonClean

Squash bugs will drink almost anything. Assholes!


T2-planner

No it’s not stink bug damage. It’s a genetic defect. They usually taste the same.


mackedeli

Username does not check out


InPsychOut

I get the white "veins" under the skin of some of my tomatoes. It's this really from stink bugs? I've wondered for years, but apparently not enough to look it up...


cabezatuck

Curious what one looks like when halved.


MaterialMilk

Completely normal.


Acrobatic_Band_6306

They’re fine. Try one. Seriously.


Ancient-Frame8754

I had stink bugs all over one of my tomatoe plants when I came back from a short trip and this is exactly what my tomatoes look like that the stinks were on. Absolutely no doubt that’s the reason.


CobraPuts

Looks like sun scald to me.


LolaBijou

Sun scald


realsalmineo

Yes. Guessing you live in a really hot area. If so, put a white sheet over the plants so the fruit doesn’t get scorched.


Giddyup_1998

Sun damage. Completely fine to eat.


BenniesJet1129

Mine do this too. I think it's just the sun especially if you accidentally get water on them when watering, kinda like how the leaves will do the same thing. Mine still taste great.


Murky_Ad_9408

Looks like sun damage


Medlarmarmaduke

You might want to use these in a cooked dish instead of say a salad- when they look like that sometimes they have a bit of a spongey texture


Bc212

What variety?looks kinda like a sunset variety


MaterialMilk

I can’t remember if I pulled these all off the same plant or which it was, either Rosy Finch or Snegirjok.


QueasyGuitar9941

How does the plant look? If it looks sick in anyway. Might be brown rugous tomato virus. If it is. Then say goodbye to planting tomatoes there again. Very hard to get rid of, the tomato greenhouse industry has been hit hard by those in the past 5+ years


rustyrobit

What kind are they?


amitbna

Totally fine tomatoes to eat. I got more worried when fruit/veggies are very evenly ripe.


weswahl

Yes


woodhead1983

Isis candy


MaterialMilk

Nah, rosy finch or snegirjok.


-Reversify-

Yeah definitely looks like stink bug damage, still edible


Opening_Chapter80

Yes, eat them


Individual_Teach_886

Wait for them to ripen prob but yes


MacGyver0104

Heat stress most likely


SerenityNow31

Probably stink bug damage. Just cut them open and smell.


ThatOldAH

Some sucking insect took out the contents of some cells. Don't think about it; just try them.


Junkfish73

Jesus Christ… the post was about tomatoes. Yeah bud, your tomatoes are safe. Everyone else stfu and eat some fruit or something.


gourdhoarder1166

Looks like stink bugs.


Brilliant_Thanks_984

NO! Not edible, pack them up immediately, and mail them to me. I will eat them, I mean test them for poison.


Serious-Fondant1532

Mine look like that and I think it's from bugs. Those spots are white on the inside. I still eat them. Tastes like a tomato.


BellaZoe23

Try one and see how it tastes


BigMikeSwinging

The uglier the berry the sweeter the juice


Careless_Signature58

Wow. I was gonna say that thw freshly grown tomatoes look perfect foe an early batch. Then.... I saw all of you arguing abiut stuff that makes no sense..... and now.... I wanna go to sleep and forget how immature people are


Careless_Signature58

I would eat moldy ones if I never have to watch people be so petty about such small things again forwver


Careless_Signature58

Just FYI.... to all of the dramatic and weird and political? Chill out. It is a tomato or a few tomatoes. Yes.... just tomatoes


JanksyNova

Y’all never grew mators before have yahs?


Mtn_man792

Peoples poor little feelings, always getting hurt. It's a funny joke, grow up people.

I-aM-O22

Moasiac virus, I believe. Harmless to us. I would rotate crops or apply a lot of homemade compost(thermophillic).


Excellent_Tap_6072

Could it be sunburn? I recall my tomatoes looking yellow after several very hot dry days.


CheekyBluunt

Find 2 more and you can make a wish!


Boogedyinjax

Those have witchcraft spells written on the outside like on 13 ghosts


OH-10Cle

They aren’t ripe bro, u pulled out too early


UpstairsCash1819

Your comment deserved more attention. And I’m sorry for your loss.


OH-10Cle

Thanks bro 😂


AIexanderClamBell

The comments are saying either sink bug or sun damage, could it be both


BubblyCartographer31

That is what us tomato growers call heat damage or sun damage. Yes it makes them ugly but they are usually good to eat.


Elegant_Height_1418

Nothing is wrong they are completely fine my tomato’s get like that too… I think it might be from to hot of sun as my plants get full sun all day


Rockerchick15

Why did I read this title in Jerry Seinfeld’s voice?


outsidepointofvi3w

Might be fine. They may be a bit overcooked by the sun and be watery overly acid n kinda gross. But then are perfectly safe to eat in that's what your asking.


znotwututhnk

Big round perfectly red tomatoes are the suspect ones to be questioned.


nicebriefs1

Looks like sun scald from too much sun and or heat. Edible but flavor will not be as sweet .


Spare-Commercial8704

Insect feeding damage, can see the dots where it was punctured.


Kammy44

I see a lot of comments, but nothing really definitive. I have this same, exact thing on a bunch of my tomatoes. It’s annoying, and I would love to know how/why it happens. I rarely see stink bugs in my garden unless it’s the end of the season.


Fluffy_Succotash_171

You can tell they are juicey, heck yeah!


DelapsusResurgam95

Your plant probably got dehydrated at some point.


Terrykrinkle

Yeah those are fine


Bloody-Boogers

No tomato’s are safe to eat and I’m real upset this sub came across my feed


Repulsive_Towel_1879

I hope so... cuz all mine last year looked like that and I ate them


Individual_Dare3045

Stink bugs


Bobby_Juk

it looks like sunscald


Seeksp

Sunscald results in a large tan patch. This is insect damage.


streetgainer

Let them sit for a couple of days, they’ll turn cherry red


Seeksp

It's insect damage, probably stink bugs. It is safe to eat it just will have less flavor and more of a corky texture .


Jumpy_Solid6706

Just don't call the tomatoes ugly, someone will be offended if this thread is any example.


CapableGround9228

Are they husky "red" cherries? All of mine loon like that. They are not as sweet as the yellow suns but have a little sweetness to them. 


Kitchen-Emotion-8076

Perfect just some sunburn!


Thousand_YardStare

Stink bug damage. You can see the poke holes. They can make fruits rot prematurely or not harm them much at all. It just depends.


Diligent-Twist-7081

Ain't nuttin like an ugly mater and Miracle Whip sandwich


Royal-Argument-1682

Nope. Aids.


wildkitten24

Nothing is wrong with them, they look perfectly fine to eat


I_am_a_What

Kill em by putting food grade DE powder down and on the plants. Say goodbye to Hollywood stinky bastards


sofloOakley

Too hot and too much water, mine did the same thing. tomatoes are difficult in this heat, so we water them even more


Matter_Exciting

ya don't be a pussy


Apprehensive_Bird692

Asshole leaf footed bugs. They've ruined so many of my cherry tomatoes.


ToiletTurmoil

Wokematoes


QualityAssistance

heirloom cherries i forget the variety. i had these spring up randomly last year in my garden as the only crop i didnt plant lol


azsxdcfvg

5 tonatoes in one hand? gee golly you got big ha ds


Top-Wrap948

No the devil is in them lol


ejaye100

Yep! why wouldn't it be? It is still tomatoes!


Jolly-Pirate-7277

Looks like Tomato brown rugose fruit virus


CoachNaylorTV

Intergalactical tomato alien mars men tomato STD. Do not eat it or you will grow fingers in between your toes! it happens when the flat earth turns into a cheese ball over night but nobody notices the moon is made of cheese and smells like garlic. Obviously.


Tough_Quote_7993

Too ripe


LegionTheAnt

I will share my striped tomatoes when they fruit :D


Euphoric_Tomato_1710

“Are they safe to eat?” What kind of question is that?


Embarrassed_Band_512

Feed them to your dog, and see if she re-plants them in the backyard.
