thanks dan, i thought that the GPC might have done something like that but i wasn't sure ? yes those critters are always a concern but so far they havn't touched a tomato.i have learned to pick them when i start seeing color.they can smell a rip tomato.

ya i know it will be hard to catch, but im having fun posting its progress. know one will show their tomato until its weighed so you never see a progress report or anything to compair too...so maybe this can help people as a compairison chart. i have no idea where you need to be at day 10-20-30-? or days to ripe ???
