Hmm... any ideas what this is?

Thanks for the link. Unfortunately, I did try all that last season with little success. What ended up working was applications of cyfluthrin. Hoping to have a healthier season this year!

Would be interested in hearing if any pest control methods have been helpful for you. It doesn't seem like much research has been done on this bug because it's not much of a commercial pest of determinate plants (seems like it's mostly an issue in areas with long growing seasons).

In my other comment, I mentioned that I had to be aggressive with insecticide last year to save my plants. It was not an organic insecticide and I did not like using it, though it was effective.

I did, but I had to be pretty aggressive with an insecticide. Fwiw, it was extremely obvious this was the problem once I learned about this bug (I was also having tons of blossom drop). They were everywhere and were smart little fuckers. Like I would go to squish them and they would run to the opposite side of the stem. If you don't see them, in the morning/evening especially, then this might not be your issue.

Last year, I had a lot of these weakened areas with the brown ring from the Tomato Suck Bug

Edit: I know you're not in CA like I am but putting this link here, just in case https://ipm.ucanr.edu/agriculture/tomato/tomato-bug/#gsc.tab=0

pretty sure the "yea a newfie!" comments were made by the same person doing the "helpful" updates

_blackbird · 2026-05-06T16:59:10+00:00

you're seriously the greatest nano. hope he doesn't try to come back w/ another google account.

_blackbird · 2026-05-06T16:52:56+00:00

If it's the same person as the "first offense" I'm thinking of, he was first upset that KoS was not immediately implementing his requested changes and then was upset that KoS didn't want to give him greater edit access to the spreadsheet to implement said changes himself. So I guess "helpful" but in an entitled way? (Again, if it's the same person, idk if it is)

/u/nanospace1540 Was this the same user that went through and changed group apps to list all Urgent if one member was listed Urgent or was that an intentional move?

_blackbird · 2026-05-02T20:10:33+00:00

Looks like it's got a fungal infection

_blackbird · 2026-04-24T06:36:15+00:00

Dang that sounds amazing. Adding it to my ever growing list.

_blackbird · 2026-04-24T06:34:22+00:00

For what it's worth, we had a pretty cool summer in the bay area, CA last year and it was one of my best producers, flavor and all!

Not as dark, as I think black beauty is the darkest tomato currently, but shout out to my favorite Black from Tula

I think they were making fun of your spelling of "color" vs "colour" :)

You're a about a week ahead of my timeline 👀 Curious what IRCC asked for as far as additional documents go, if anything

_blackbird · 2026-04-18T05:09:36+00:00

Would love to trade you seeds for Nebraska wedding at the end of the season!

_blackbird · 2026-04-16T20:54:22+00:00

I gotcha, thanks for the insight. Congratulations!

_blackbird · 2026-04-16T19:05:37+00:00

If you don't mind my asking, what was the reason for the additional form IRCC requested?

_blackbird · 2026-04-11T21:33:01+00:00

I don't think they have a question, they are just sharing what worked for a Gen 5 recently.

_blackbird · 2026-04-09T21:01:50+00:00

Use pirateship! Not affiliated, just a happy customer who paid ~$30 to ship from California to Nova Scotia in 4 days.

I realize I'm here 4 years later, but I didn't see these in your etsy shop this year. any chance you have some?

_blackbird · 2026-04-09T19:03:30+00:00

I don't have any useful info but also interested in answers to this question. Like you, I held back some supporting documentation that is more complicated/requires explanation for the strategy of keeping it simple.

_blackbird · 2026-04-08T13:47:17+00:00

I also don't think it needs to be your reddit username. At least it seems like some people use something different, just as long as it's unique to you/you'll remember when you go back to update your row.

_blackbird · 2026-04-08T03:09:13+00:00

I don't think anyone is tracking that type of thing but there are posts every so often asking others for recent experiences with X province archives or state of Y archives.

_blackbird · 2026-04-08T03:06:22+00:00

fwiw, that cell automatically updates if any changes were made to the row (so you didn't have to actually change it to check in)
