Mark - we've noticed this problem in wet springs, only on one variety - 
Haralson.  What variety is in your picture?  It is significant this 
year, though there are still many usable fruits. We also had this issue 
in 2011, where it was wet through the growing season and didn't really 
dry out until the fall.  This year, though, someone turned off the rain 
on July 1st, which seems to be the case in some parts.  Other adjacent 
counties, though, have seen regular rain until a week or two ago.
