Thanks Mary.. I do believe the sun is burning them from the droplets 
of water..
but i have a few bugs that will eat thru a few of them.. but I tell 
ya.. my two plants
are going nutzo.. so I have plenty of tomatos.. three or four every 
few days...
I am having great luck with them.. and if a few go to the bugs.. or 
birds.. ( i don't see any bird problems at all, so i think its bugs.. 
and sunburn affecting them).
