How do we stop pests from biting the tomatoes ,something is eating
my tomatoes when they turn red and some of the green ones too . It has been said thjat due to the very hot and rainless summer we have had that rodents are biting and leaving the bitten tomatoe on the branch . i have tried everything I could think of to get rid of them. Nothing works I guess the last resort is to put out poison. I don’t know what is doing this.

William, I wonder if you could get Ms. Friday to do another article to answer our questions here? Mine about the side rotting and the one about white splotchy hard spots. I have that problem too.

We gave up on tomatoes because of the wild life getting them first. I would like to be able to give up on privet, please tell us what Pathfinder is.

What can I do to stop those bad white and hard spoty blotches that completely ruin a tomatoe I feel certain it is some sort of deficiency but need a botonist’s point of view and expertice.

I hate privit too but Pathfinder will render it helpless.

We plant Tomatos, we get wild berries and weeds.
We plant Peppers, we get more Privet.
Privet,privet and more privet. Everywhere you look, I’m cutting down privet.

Oh,by the way….we have never once planted any privet.

I don’t have blossom end rot because I amended my soil with calcium before planting, but my tomatoes are rotting on the sides just as they start to ripen. Does anyone know what causes this and what I can do?
