Bugs are destroying my leaves but so far have left my tomatoes alone.
I don’t know what those brown spots are on my hazelnut.
I usually spray the undersides of my tomotoes’ leaves with a very dilute solution of plain liquid dish soap. It kills aphids. But those holes look like that created by a caterpillar. I find I am also routinely having to prune all branches so no leaves are ever in direct contact with the ground, and remove up to a third of the non-contributing interior vegetation to encourage air movement and access for soap applications and dilute foliar feeding.
Everything is finally in. Woke up at 5:30 this morning and it was 32°F so I’m glad I brought all the tomatoes into the house for a couple days. But I think we’re in the clear this week. Garlic, Red Onions, Russet Burbank Potatoes, Sieglinde Potatoes, Red Cored Danver Carrots, Detroit Dark Red Beets, Red Bell Peppers, Wicked Ghost Peppers, Beefsteak Tomatoes, San Marzano Tomatoes, Spaghetti Squash, Table Queen Squash, Long English Cucumbers. First time trying Tomatoes in large nursery pots. I want to set them up under ridge poles and run vertical poles down to each plant to see if I can get the same 5-6’ tall plants I got last year. Have to start buying more flats of quart jars, lids and rings now, and can 30+ pounds of tomatoes that I had to freeze last year because I didn’t acquire my pressure canner till October. 
Took that step already a few months back. Just keeping the neck clean front and back now. But man these razors dull quickly.
Cool pic! They used to run these at the Molybdenum mine where I grew up before it shut down. I’m pretty sure that place is why you now have to fill out an FLHA at the start of every shift. A couple personal vehicles driven over, fortunately never with anyone in them.
