Hey, Lisa! That’s terrible. Stink bugs are the worst! I’m sure the weeds don’t help. You can also pull off the green tomatoes and let them ripen indoors so you get some fruit. If they’re that bad already, are you entirely opposed to organic pesticides like pyganic?

My neighbor has grass/weeds waist tall and I’m sure they are coming from her “yard”. I can not control her environment though. We’ve tried asking, hinting and helping her some. Hoping a garlic pepper spray will help deter them.

Hey Marlyn, hornworms are very frustrating, and they destroy so many beautiful tomatoes! When we have a bad year, we start harvesting tomatoes at their first blush and letting them fully ripen in the house. We prefer to vine ripen, but sometimes you have to just take what you can get! Good luck! We feel your pain!

It is my first year of tomato Horn worms in 20 years and the worst I have ever had. I pull them of about 3 daily and feed to the hens. Not a good tomato year.
