Yep -- insecticidal soap. Got mixed up. They ate the undersides of most of
the green tomatoes, but on the plus side -- I've got lots of flowers on the
stems they didn't manage to scarf down. We must have pulled off at least
10-15 of the things on about 4 plants. It was horrible. LOL -- I almost
cried.

I see you have since posted that you are in SE Texas, so I am guessing
that you will have a tomato growing season until at least the end of
November. Plenty of time for the plants to recover. We have had cool
enough nights here in Austin that some of our tomatos are still
setting fruit even though they usually give up toward the end of June.
I often grow new plants and set them out during the first 2 weeks of
July for fall tomatos.
