No. I get prickly little blisters just from touching them, and if theyāre particularly strong and up wind (or down? Idk?) , itchy lungs and breathing passages, red puffy face.
Iām planting them so that the wind blows it away from me. Thatās what Iām trying to say.
Oh okay, I gotcha now. I donāt know of much that eats tomato plants except gophers, horn worms and grasshoppers if thatās the last thing standing.
I planted some Solar Fire tomatoes a few years ago I bought from a guy in town. Every tomato in the garden had horn worms on them except those. Come to find out all Solar Fire tomato seeds are treated.
I told my son that if that werenāt good enough for the tomato worms to eat, they werenāt good enough for us. Never planted them again.
Iām going with romas. There is a massive herd of deer in the area because my back yard butts up to a farm, but they seem to have their pick of what ever they like, and by the time they come through our yards theyāre full.
My neighbor did a few plants last year that turned out really nice. Iāll ask him, but I donāt think he even used any pesticides or anything.
My cat and a couple of others in the neighborhood keep the little nibbly critters at bay.
All filled up, just missing the smaller 1āx1ā pipes. It is at the back by the barn waiting to be chain saw into size. I need a second pair of hands to keep it stable to be cut. It should give 8 of the small sections
.That is HUGE barn! Is there an arena in there?
Yes the arena is the larger building
I wish @Chris_Colucci had some of these cherry tomato plants. I think every seed must have come up twiceā¦ lol
Not long nowā¦ zucchini
Pulled a couple of fresh onions to have with lunch.
I believe thatās a grubworm. They seem to be endemic in our part of the world.
We have always called these little green bastards cut worms. The big fat white ones are what we always called grub worms, and grub worms are were June bugs come from.
Agreed. I just thought that was a young version of a grub worm.
Is there a remedy?
Bipel dust. Itās not an insecticide but a biological agent that only kills worms.
Do you use grow lights or the sun?
Sun coming through my ceiling window so far. Iām going to put them in garden boxes. Hereās some other stuff.
Very nice!
I was just wondering because the tomatoes look like the are getting leggy and need more light. I had that problem a few years ago by not have the lights close enough to the plants. They just needed more light.
Jealous of your beets and carrots. My beets and carrots didnāt make it. Some kind of bug chewed them off. I will try again when it gets cooler here.
I have a love/hate for radishes. Some that Iāve had taste great, kinda sweet but spicy, some are just insanity level hot like they only exist to inflict pain.
I dunno which I like better.
Yeah, hence I wonder why my wife is growing ghost peppers. 
I saw a flat of them at a local garden center. Iām going to plant one, and will probably get a year worth of chili making out of it.
My brother did the ghost pepper challenge. He said it really is as bad as people have portrayed it to be. Iām like āYeahhhh, butā¦ā.
I have planted them but in my opinion they werenāt that much different than habaneros. Once your taste buds are scorched it is what it is.
