I would add blister beetles and gophers to that list. Personal experience with both last yaer.
That said, I’m going to do something nutty and try — even as late in the growing season as it is — to start a few tomatoes from seed. Fingers are crossed! :-)
I grew all of mine from seed. But I started mine in March. Some varieties are more likely to germinate and grow quickly than others. Experiment and choose the ones right for you.
