I've added a FAQ section to my website

Trying to ponder all of the various questions I am asked about tomatoes (and added many I've yet to be asked, but seem like good questions)

1. FAQs seem very very good to me

Thanks for posting a link to your website. It has all sorts of info of interest to me.

2. By gathering them into broad categories, I hope they are easier to use.

Thanks!

7. It's easy to find specific topics in the broad categories

In all the years I've been growing tomatoes I didn't know until I read it on your website that tomatoes ripen from the inside out and will retain flavor if ripened on the counter when picked as soon as they start to color. I'm so glad to know this very useful info.

3. I have a quick question that I could just google but saw your post, so...

after picking off 8 to 10 youngish hornworms yesterday and today, I got out the Bt spray. How long does it take to kill the mofos?

those disgusting things grow faster than the amaranth in the summer!



That is a size 10 MEN's!

4. Hey Kali! Once the worms ingest the BT, it should work quickly - within a few days

they do have to eat the spray residue on the foliage.

good luck - I've hand picked a dozen or so thus far!

5. Thanks, and thanks for getting me going on this project!

my poor tomatoes are so young (had to restart them after a mouse got all the seedlings) so they aren't as big as they should be by now, but the ones that are left are doing well - the Kelly Greens and Fred's Tie Dye are the strongest, only have one Cherokee Purple left, two Coyotes, one Kookaburra (I think, it came up late in a pot that had been transplanted to that, but it croaked so assume it was a late seed from the original planting. And I lost my Mexico Midgets but ordered some more seeds from SSE. May wait till next year for them, though I have had tomatoes make it until Xmas before.

If even one or two of these survive, that will still be a lot of tomatoes for this house!

It has been fun trying this from seed for the first time. Will defiantly do it again. Learned a lot from my various mistakes. LOL
