Thanks for your replies and suggestions. I will take a sample and visit my local extension service office. That was really great advice. :) However, I wish those "3 tiny holes" were the extent of the damage This leaf is actually in very good shape. There are no aphids that I can see and I have not been able to find any other bugs on the plant. I will visit my local extension office where I can find some help and not criticism.. Perhaps I am wrong about these bugs causing the damage, but there is no doubt lots of damage to my tomato plant. I had holes inside some of my small fruit, even after this posting.. I opened one of the fruit and found nothing living inside.

Because so many seedlings look much like named varieties but can have completely different genes, identifying plants from pictures is one of the biggest errors in the plumie world. This is one reason so many plants sold as cuttings from picture ids, turn out to be incorrect plants. If you did not buy a plant from a reputable vendor as a named variety you really are wrong to assume the plant in the picture is a named variety. For example, I had a seedling from a Vera Cruz Rose that looked exactly like a Nebel's Rainbow. Also I had a seedling from a Ryan Chelsea that looked exactly like a Lani. The high number of genes creates many variables for plant survival. I recommend people label a plant as looks like a _____ or possibly a _______. Please never sell a cutting as some plant picked from a picture. This is just wrong and has caused so much error in correct identification of registered cultivars.

Actually, the fruit of Passion Vine is highly edible -- you've just picked it too soon. Another common name for the vine is Wild Apricot, which should give you some idea of the general taste of the ripe fruit. When it's ripe the skin pales to a soft yellow green and the flesh will be quite soft. The ripe seeds inside will be dark. The black bug might be a leaf footed bug. They suck sap, but don't seem to do too much damage in my garden, unlike their relative the squash bug, which pretty much destroys my squash plantings every year.

Googling the name, Dar al Hadaya Sharqiya , it appears to be a boutique in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. I assume they had the tea set custom made for the store. Given the poshness of the mall and the store, it was probably expensive stuff. Can't be older than the company, but I can't figure out how old they are. http://www.redseamall.com/index.php?file=c-shopping_details&iBusinessId=534&iParentId=1 http://www.redseamall.com//public_html/uploads/business_images/534/4_1380137666_96763.jpg
