On Monday my new tomato seedlings that I grew from seeds during the winter looked fabulous in the garden. Tuesday morning I went out with my morning coffee to check them out and low and behold the leaves all had many holes in them. They looked like green lace. (Picture attached) I looked for bugs, worms, spiders, etc. but found nothing. There are tiny tiny black specs on the underside. I can't tell if they are bugs or dirt. What is doing this and how can I get rid of it. Organic solution preferred. Attachments:  |

Oh, horrors! I don't know an organic solution. I'd just use Sevin dust. It could be snails, so I'd put out snail bait. |

Spray the underside of the leaves and the base of the tomato plants really good, they bay bury in the mulch or soft soil until night, I look at my plants at night sometimes , you will find the culprit, When it gets warmer put a bird bath in your garden and make the hole maker dinner, if you put a bird feeder the seeds sprout into unwanted greens, so use water bath, nothing is better than a snack after a bath other than a nap, Good Luck GT |

Kinda looks like acid raid ? or some kind of burn after re looking at the picture really close, Try This, lay a sheet of note book paper by the plant this will show if any air delivered drops or animal is causing the problem, also lay one of those sticky tape strips in the middle of the paper. I have circled them around some Tomato plants a few years back, you'll be surprised what I stuck to them, all kind of night things and a mouse roller up in one, GT |
