| Last year, for the first time in all my years of growing tomatoes, I found worms inside many of my tomatoes. They especially liked the Cherokee Purple. I believe they are fruitworms and I am wondering if anyone can tell me how to prevent them. |

| use spray that contains spinosad. if you see little lines, or mines in your leaves, it's probably the larval stage of pinworm. spinosad will kill miners, and worms. i think spinosad is organic, not sure. just follow instructions on bottle label. |

| Thanks jds. I'll give it a try. Have not had leaf miners on tomatoes ----yet!! |
