Looks like I might finally get some bug free "maters" this year!! I planted four in the ground and a few more in containers and they were eaten up by army worms or some other bugs! A friend suggested I get the upside down planter from Home Depot which I did. I had a few worms on this bunch too but would pick them off and put them in the bird feeders. One fell in the pool and a bright green stuff oozed out of the thing ... ick! It was interesting but ugly! I have been checking the plants every day and no sign of worms/bugs for a few weeks. I noticed the little flowers a week ago and now it's setting fruit. So, hopefully we will have some good tomatoes before long! I can't remember which type I planted in here but thought I would share the picture.
