| Growing Notes | Tomatoes take a lot of maintenance to grow. They require trellising and manually training them up the trellis; leaves should be pruned; nutrition and irrigation need to be consistent; plants are really prone to blight and other diseases – it’s not a matter of “if” but “when” they’ll get it. |
| Battle of the Bugs | Tomato and tobacco hornworms are troublesome, but the worst bugs we’ve faced with our tomato plants so far are the army worms. They destroy fruits quite efficiently. |
| Fun Fact | Some people are allergic to tomato plants and get a contact dermatitis (or worse) reaction after touching the leaves. Bummer! |
| Don’t Waste It! | If you love tomatoes, you already know how best to enjoy them 🙂 |
