I was hoping for some help from the group.
This year I planted Grosse Lisse tomatoes.I sprayed and dusted them and the
end result is I have hundreds of tomatoes but 90% of them have a green grub
in them.I will still keep going with them for a while but was after
recommendations of what variety to plant next.Is there a variety that is
more resistant to these pests.


A green caterpillar with black and yellow decoration? That's tomato grub.
Was your spraying and dusting advertised as effective against them? You might
need a specific remedy, though the sheer number makes me think it could be due
to freak weather conditions.

Anyone in Sydney seen any fruit fly yet? I am hoping the low humidity will
discourage the blighters.
