Paul2032 said:We've missed one thing in this discussion. What seed did you plant? Were they patio, determinate, or indeterminate? That would determine the size of the plant. Small one may be just a runt..........
Philipwonel said:Leafminers are little bugs/worms that live between leafs. Eating middle of leafs. So spray doesn't kill them. Drench soil with neem oil mixture. And/or cut affected leafs off and put in tied plastic bag to trash.
Fertilze as per instructions.

How do I know if I have them?
Yardenman said:Not to be depressing, but unless those a dwarf patio type tomatoes, those pots seem too small. 5 gallon tubs are a minimum for most tomatoes...

Yeah, I was wondering that myself...but what of all these holes in the leaves? I'm worried the plants are heavily compromised and repotting will really take them out?

The sixth picture down in your latest set of pics, to the right of your thumb, is the culprit for the holes in the leaves, a green caterpillar. Go on the hunt for him and his friends/siblings and squish them.
ctcarol said:You can Spray with BT, which is specific to worms, and won't harm other bugs. It won't harm people either, but it's easy to wash off.
Safer makes one called Caterpillar Killer, and there are several other brands as well. Just read instructions before using. In any event, don't wait until those little inch worms turn into huge tomato horn worms.
