(yes I know it's July.... i'm a little late with this post)
we pulled out 3 zucchini and have many more coming!
one morning i went out to find one of my tomato plants looking like this. mostly leafless --look closely, do you see him? well, when i first saw him i freaked out... i've never seen (what i thought was a) caterpillar that size before!
so this is a Tomato Hornworm. I'd never seen one before and never want to again. ick! nice to meet you now go away!
upon further inspection, turns out he was the smallest of a total of 3 i found on our plants.
my idea was to feed them to the chickens but Cam took a liking to them so we compromised with throwing them in the compost pile. hope they don't make their way back to the tomato plants!
