Hi all. Question please. Is this normal as I have a few with holes in exactly the same place at the bottom. No rot or wriggling beasties. Some have no holes at all. Is it safe to eat? Thank you

    Perfectly safe to eat ... some of the heirloom varieties have their idiosyncracies and pollination/weather and other factors can affect the way the fruit forms. The fruit may even have started to split and then healed   :)

    Apophthegm -  a big word for a small thought.
    If you live in Derbyshire, as I do.

    It's sometimes known as "cat-facing" and happens to some of the larger heirloom types. :)
    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
