tomato pollination

You know, I keep reading and hearing about tomato hornworms. But I've never actually SEEN one, and I've never seen any other insect-damage to tomatoes either. (I've grown tomatoes for about 25 years, in four different states and one Canadian province.) Maybe I've just been lucky. Pat I've seen them & killed them. Nasty big green things. Last summer I checked my container-grown tomatoes every day; I did find a few & killed them. We also have bugs here that go to town on tomato leaves & stems. You have been lucky. I remember using a smallish bucket when I had to weed tomatoes as a kid; we hand-picked them & squashed them. Some years we lost quite a few plants even with vigilance. Minteeleaf |
