Master Gardener Laura Simpson answers your questions and offers gardening tips.

Q. I’ve always gotten a good crop from my fig tree, but this year many of the fruits fell off the tree, and the ones I harvested had worm damage. What is causing this, and can I do anything about it?

My advice is to always cut open homegrown figs before eating them. Remember that the only thing worse than finding a worm in your apple is finding half a worm. Indeterminate tomatoes can grow quite large in our long growing season. In upstate New York , our first frost date usually came right around Labor Day, so we didn’t have these kinds of problems.
