More Tomatoes

DSC_1756_4667Every evening and most mornings I patrol the garden looking for those big ol’ hornworms along with grasshoppers.  The garden is growing 37 tomato plants; so the pests have plenty of places to hide.  They munch away without a care until I show up with my killing Crocs. 

Even though I have a pest problem, production is moving right along.  This evening, I needed to pluck pests AND tomatoes.  The Carbon variety were getting too heavy for the vines.  I grabbed a few to lighten the load along with some basil.DSC_1761_4671 There is a bit of blossom end rot on most all varieties.  The problem is so small, I don’t plan on doing anything at this time.  Note:  The Al Kuffa variety continues to be the heartiest in the garden.
