Shock horror today to find worm bugs had attacked my tomatoes .
The plant had been given a real bashing from the hail a few weeks ago but was managing to survive in parts.
Because part of the plant was dying I decided to rescue tomatoes that the worm bug hadn’t got to and then put the plant out and start again.
I managed to save few, washed them, dried in a tea towel.
I will put them in a paper bag and place in a warm spot to ripen up. If not successful it’s no big deal because I can buy punnets of cherry tomatoes for under $4.00.

Wasn’t there a movie about this?

Oh No! Sometimes the bugs just appear and have a munch…I am all for sharing with wildlife like birds and squirrels but bugs..they decimate everything …

They look like they’ll be very tasty if they can ripen up enough. 🙂

I have got them in a paper bag and stored in a warm area where my hot water system is located. I just need to remember that I put them there 🤣.

I am sorry to hear about your tomatoes, Ally. We had hail and it ruined a lot of our peaches.

What’s the best way to prevent tomatoes from being attacked by worms?

Vincent I don’t know the answer. Google gives several natural ways to try and treat them. The gardening supply shops have products that you can use. Maybe a sterile greenhouse could be the answer.

I did read that bicarbonate soda and water is a safe spray to use. The worms had already done too much damage by the time I discovered them.
