    Yesssss, I saw them yesterday when i was getting ready to transplant them. I decided to leave them alone because they are doing well and decided to take the risk and let them stay in the same smaller pots. Gave them some tomato food and compost and we will see. I was shocked to see the larger one in the back...wow!! It's so HOTTTTT here...over 95 everyday..humidity is a killer!!

    Last week, the maters were growing well so I thought, then I looked at them and realized that something red was covering them...they looked like red ants/spiders...and i mean completely covered them...I cut them all down and they were still on the tomatoes...not the plant....they had already sucked the tomato dry (and it had to be red and ready for picking). So I have suckers that were growing at the bottom but this time i will use a little sevin dust around that area.

    That pic looks good to me.
    I was sorry to hear that you have something bothering your toms now.
    I do not know if we have those sorts of things that were on your toms. Do you have any pics of them?

    It could be red aphids. I've had a few of them before on some tomato plants and blasted them off the plants with water then used sevin dust on the plants. That seemed to take care of the problem as they didn't return.
