Matthew Currie Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 <p>I bit too much hand of man for some, but I could not resist a picture of the biggest monster tomato hornworm I've ever seen, and respect for nature does not extend quite so far as sacrificing the fresh tomato sandwiches, so this fellow and his mates have been plucked. </p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Currie Posted September 10, 2016 Author Share Posted September 10, 2016 <p>Mine sure aren't going to be moths. I think they're going to perish from freezing. Sorry to say the parasitic wasps have not been up to the job this year.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Peebles Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 <p>My wife started planting lots of marigolds around her tomatoes and she has had no more problems with the hornworms. In addition, the flowers add color to the garden.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
