Haven't seen the moths, just these mofos. Eggs are not easy to finger crush nor remove with tape or scrape off. The tiny black phase jump fast!

3rd batch of tomato sauce in the fridge.
Waiting for the other tomatoes to ripen and make the 4th batch!
It's foamy because I found out that adding some baking soda fixes the sharp zing of tomato!

With how much my cherry tomatoes have spread...taking over the entire garden, lol, I've gotta try this with the larger type of tomato. 3ft up, 4.5ft flopped down, then 4+ feet along the ground. Very long plant!

the acidity is what helps keep it safe in storage or canning. if you won't be canning it and freezing it instead or eating right away that factor may not be important to you...
The acid is what makes it nasty and inedible to me. Excess gets frozen.
