I had the most beautiful tomato plants this year and I even started them a bit early so that they would have some chance to stay healthy. Last year, because I started them so late, they were burnt from our record hot and long summer. Well, this year, just when I think I’m going to have a great crop then there is a massive infestation of green caterpillars everywhere!! Now, we are in the midst of a long heat wave (so early on too) and I might as well kiss my tomatoes goodbye and start over again.. Gardening can be so rewarding yet so frustrating!
