Tomato Hornworm Alert!

17 years ago

Hey Gardner, Just wanted to let you guy/girls know I found some hornworms in with my tomatos today. If you haven't started looking for them yet nows a good time to start. They were about 2" long and I don't know how I missed them the past couple of days. I spotted their waste on some of their leaves so that's how I was tipped off to them.

Time to give your tomatos a good once over the next couple of weeks.

I grow extra tomatoes just for the hornworms. Now, if I'd just get a hornworm; I haven't seen one on my toms in a few years :(
