| Hello all, new member here with a question. I planted several tomatoes in my garden 11 days ago and yesterday I noticed something going on with the leaves on a few of the plants and I'm hoping you all can help me determine what it is and if something needs to be done with them. Thanks! |

| It is flea beetle damage - small black hopping beetles that make small holes in leaves in a "shotgun pattern". It is appearance damage only and poses no threat to the plants. Most of us just ignore it and them. Dave |
