What a gorgeous crop of tomatoes (and your whole garden too, especially your mother and the mustard green seeds. And oh my gosh, those butterflies.🦋) Cherokee P’s are my absolute favorite. Better Boys are great too, but they’re a hybrid. Are the Big Pinks a Brandywine or a Beefsteak? The reason I love Better Boys almost as good as Cherokees is because they’re so juicy and very acidic.❤️🍅

Guy from Clemson was here looking at a tomato variety and he said they were army worms, they didn't used to bother tomatoes but are now on the menu, that doesn't mean yours are army worms but they do look like cut worms and corn worms. Either way, get yourself a bt concentrate and a sprayer, non toxic and spraying about every 10 days will kill all worms, including those cabbage loopers.
