Being back in town with no garden, I just take care of the lawn. But my wife wanted some tomatoes and she had a couple of big old flower pots, so I got a big bag of potting soil, a couple of wire cages, and some little Big Boy tomato plants at Lowe's this Spring.
The first, and second, times I saw tomatoes that had been partially eaten, I sprayed the plants with insecticide, even though we've seen no insects on the plants. But now every time a tomato just starts to turn pink, something eats it. I noticed a tennis ball sized pink tomato yesterday that had been half eaten, and this morning, it's almost entirely gone. I just cannot imagine what is eating them, but since they're in pots, we moved them this morning to a location where we can see them from a window.
