bugs on veggies

I have a very small garden and my veggie plants are doing well. Which is great seeing as how I've failed to get anything to grow the last two years due to kids, dogs and a trigger happy hubby with a weed eater! :shock: I have two cherry tomato plants and three pepper plants. The're doing great. :lol: Except for one thing....BUGS! :( I have no idea what kind of bugs, but they're eating the leaves and veggies. Well, so far the only thing I've grown is tomatoes and one bell pepper. The two tomatoes that were red were eaten down into the middle. :? The bell pepper was untouched...THANKFULLY! But I am just dying to taste those home grown tomatoes. My hubby keeps telling me to go get pesticide at the store, but I want uncontaminated veggies.....HELP! What can I do to get rid of these critters?

Thanks....'ll see if this doesn't work. I'd hate to ruin the yummy taste of my vegetables with any form of chemical pesticide.....YUCK!

And do not forget to foliar feed with Bioform or Garret juice or a recipe of your own making. It really DOES make a difference; in the health of your plants, in the taste and nutrient level of your harvest and in pest control.

Just one season foliar feeding will convince ANYONE of its value.
