Top of tomato plant defoliated
I went away for a couple of days and came back to find the top of my Siberian plant defoliated (first picture). I looked around a bit and found the culprit (2nd picture). I guess I'll leave this tomato horn worm and let him be feasted on. Guess I should have held my phone a little further away since he is a bit out of focus. I have never had any of these horn worms in my garden before. Guess there is a first for everything.

Booooo!!! But at least, it's done for.
This is my first year gardening and I have experienced deer defoliation, hornworm defoliation, and tswv. Here's hoping the tomatoes grow and ripen even if there are only a few leaves left at the end. |
