Stink bugs are messing up the tomatoes big time.


I hate these damn things. They were messing up my string beans
last year and harassing the squash. I've never seen them on
tomatoes but I will try to watch for that.

If you see yellow spots on your tomatoes you have stink bugs.

They seem to winter inside the frame of my sliding-glass door. I
will try again to seal it.

We've never had any in our house, only see them during the summer. You
must live where it gets cold, we seldom see a frost or freeze here in SE
Texas.

I'm putting out small buckets under the tomatoes and the crowder peas,
as they, to, have stink bugs but not as many as on the tomatoes.
Strangely they don't seem to attack the black or yellow tomatoes, must
have something to do with the color.
