Fortunately, there hasn't been any extensive damage, as I've gotten most of the caterpillars before they were much more than an inch long. Unfortunately, they just keep coming.
I've found at least 40 worms so far. That's probably more than I've found the last three or four years combined.

This was me last year. I stopped counting at 100 off from three tomato plants! I had them the year before and didn't quite understand the depth of what they were and I am sure the larvae, eggs or whatever overwintered in my soil. I was super diligent about removing them last year and bought BT this year.
