    I had a look online and unfortunately I think they're probably infected. The fruits are developing ok but some of them look like this:-

    It's my first year of owning a garden/greenhouse. Should I chalk it down to experience and try again next year?

    What your toms have SD is Ghost Spot. There is no treatment for it, but, luckily, the fruit is still edible with no ill effects to you or yours.:gnthb:
