Night temp last night 73F here.
And I got lazy and complacent and didnt trim all my beautiful leaves to thin them out. Lost 6 and counting large beautiful tomatoes to tomato fruitworm holes. I was able to cut out the cancer, I am going to try green tomato bread. There's a well received recipe on allrecipes site. Been pruning a lot today! Procrastination does NOT pay. |

Procrastination isn't my problem, but getting out of the work before it's getting dark.

Bummer about our warmer weather in January and February. Normal December would be excellent though.
Here's the green tomato bread I made today with the worm eaten big greenies. I just cut out the bad stuff. It came out fabulously. |

I have got to try the green tomato bread. My squirrels are not as well behaved as yours. They steal a lot of my ripe tomatoes but what really irritates me the most is when they pick a large green tomato, take one bite and then throw it down. So maybe this will let me get some use out of them.
You have heard me rave about Dwarf Beauty King and I just saw Craig post that it will be released for 2017. I am so happy, it is one of of the best tomatoes I have ever grown. |

I've also been losing fruit to a soft spot on the top; Thinking it was some sort of worm, I blasted the soft spot with a hose; guts the inside out; no worm.
Not sure what it is, but I've never had this before. I've been seeing caterpillar poop on the potato leaves of the dwarf plants. I've found the green leaf eating caterpillars and pupa in cocoons sometimes 2 on a big potato leaf. The catepillars are mainly on the dwarf plants with the rugose leaves. I have not sprayed. OTOH, I have not seen one aphid. |

Could the soft spots be from anthracnose? Ginny Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk |
