The Shake Away seems to have worked. I haven’t lost a tomato to them since I sprinkled.
I’m getting so many tomatoes now that I think I may can up a few quarts. DH is gonna freak out if I actually can some stuff. I haven’t done that since my “earth mother” phase, which was when I was still in university. However, as much as he makes fun of my gardening (it’s playful…he’s a New Yorker and loves to bust my chops, and I return the favor), he has confessed that he enjoys the delicious taste.
It took awhile, but he has also confessed that there IS a difference between the wax balls that pass as tomatoes in the store and homegrown fruits. He also admitted that the peaches and strawberries of Southern Illinois know no rival. No torture was committed during the confession.
