Mine are just sticks, horn worms are winning.

i just read in grit i think it was to plant borage with the tomatoes, they're not suppose to like it and the moths don't come around and lay the eggs

Interesting, I'll try to remember that next year. You can eat borage flowers.

Really? I have jalapeno pepper plants mixed in with my tomato plants (seems to work too)

No hot peppers for my garden thank you!

This year, we bought some San Marzano tomatoes for sauce...they are not very large, but hopefully they will make good sauce!

There is a YouTube channel I follow. The guy is in TX and grows a LOT of San Marzanos for canning. I'm guessing they are very good or he wouldn't still be doing it.

Have you tried GoodRx IM? Maybe you can luck out that way?

Also check the various stores with the GoodRx coupon. For DD1's med Kroger (closest one is about 400 miles) was the cheapest, Hannaford was second. Walgreens/RiteAid want your first born by comparison, basically 50% more than Hannaford.

It's going to get better.

I searched for an online pharmacy. Have to get my doc to fax scripts and I fill out their online stuff or whatever. I'm going to call them tomorrow. Some drugs, opioids and such, aren't available but bp and asthma meds are.

Thank you! That's great to know!

hoping next year the wasp will take care of the worms for me

The only problem with that is the hornworms can decimate a tomato plant before the wasp larvae kill the hornworm. A picked hornworm (fed to chickens if you have them) won't do as much plant damage. Either way that wasp killed or chicken killed hornworm won't become a moth to continue the carnage the following year.

Good morning/ afternoon everyone! I'm late to the party & heading back out. Working on water lines at our sons place...they have it listed to sell...I will be glad when they do, then we will only have our place to keep up with...

i've had no luck with the black light flashlight, guess my eyes just can't see them with it, i can see the worm in the morning light or even daylight but no luck with the blacklight, husband can't see the worms period unless i point them out for him OR they have the wasp eggs on them, showed him one and now he looks for those
i had some of the san marzanos last year, they tasted really good but when r2elk recommened the super sauce i decided to try them, less peeling and cutting for my hands

our chickens that husband lets run loose, they're young yet and haven't learned to eat the worms andi know the worms can decimate a tomato plant, thats why i put them on one of the tomato that came up volunteer(peach) its a little away from my good tomatoes and i want to give the wasp a good start here, the worms without eggs get crushed after the chickens turn them down

did i mention that i found two cucumbers in the garden this morning that apparently the chickens thought were tasty, also strawberries
chickens are tasty too, will have to have a talk with them and tell them that

I had that talk with my rooster this morning. Not because he ate cukes and strawberries but he wouldn't stop crowing and it was annoying.
