Something's eating my tomatoes
To avoid the deer, I am growing tomatoes on my second floor deck. The
tomato plants and tomato plants themselves are fine but once they ripen something is eating them. At first I thought it was birds because they were small holes in the beginning. I keep seeing bugs about the size of a nickel that look kind of like spiders but with only four legs. They're brown and red. Is that what is eating my tomatoes? What are they? And how do I make them go away. I've been picking tomatoes at dark orange rather than deep sun-ripened red to save them..... |

I don't know about the brown and red bugs, but I have had a bumper crop of tomato worms this year. The big green beasties... BJ |
