Twenty four tomato plants were watered with rainwater from my three roof collection barrels. Each plant roots received a pailful for a total of 24 pails or about two wheelbarrows full. Also some new strings support was added. One black plant is producing well more for curiosity as utility. Ripeness is determined when some red appears on the bottom of the fruit and they taste exactly like a quality tomato. Size is about golf ball at the most.

My first attempt at tomatoes is going fine. I de suckered em' and tied em' up. There are lots of 2-3 inch green tomatoes now and red ones in my future.
Now what I'm afraid of is a bug attack and/or a tomato eating wild animal to spoil my salad.
Are there any suggestions on insecticides or animal traps?
