<< I see a growing number of grasshoppers but have seen no evidence of them
 causing damage. I assume that you have checked for snails and slugs. They
 work at night, so you don't see them. I have never had tomatoes damaged,
 except by horn worms later in the season, but my tomatoes are quite large
 when I set them in the soil.

No signs of snails or slugs. I haven't lost anything in the last 5 days so
I'm keeping my fingers crossed. My tomatoes are direct seeded because I have
not been able to start them indoors without them dying. Fortunately, my area
has temps which allow me to do this.
