I've added a FAQ section to my website

Trying to ponder all of the various questions I am asked about tomatoes (and added many I've yet to be asked, but seem like good questions)

By gathering them into broad categories, I hope they are easier to use. NRaleighLiberal Jul 2018 #2

It's easy to find specific topics in the broad categories steventh Jul 2018 #7

I have a quick question that I could just google but saw your post, so... Kali Jul 2018 #3

Hey Kali! Once the worms ingest the BT, it should work quickly - within a few days NRaleighLiberal Jul 2018 #4

In all the years I've been growing tomatoes I didn't know until I read it on your website that tomatoes ripen from the inside out and will retain flavor if ripened on the counter when picked as soon as they start to color. I'm so glad to know this very useful info.

after picking off 8 to 10 youngish hornworms yesterday and today, I got out the Bt spray. How long does it take to kill the mofos?

those disgusting things grow faster than the amaranth in the summer!

That is a size 10 MEN's!

they do have to eat the spray residue on the foliage.

good luck - I've hand picked a dozen or so thus far!

my poor tomatoes are so young (had to restart them after a mouse got all the seedlings) so they aren't as big as they should be by now, but the ones that are left are doing well - the Kelly Greens and Fred's Tie Dye are the strongest, only have one Cherokee Purple left, two Coyotes, one Kookaburra (I think, it came up late in a pot that had been transplanted to that, but it croaked so assume it was a late seed from the original planting. And I lost my Mexico Midgets but ordered some more seeds from SSE. May wait till next year for them, though I have had tomatoes make it until Xmas before.

If even one or two of these survive, that will still be a lot of tomatoes for this house!

It has been fun trying this from seed for the first time. Will defiantly do it again. Learned a lot from my various mistakes. LOL
