There is something eating the tomato plants? I can see doo doo all
over
the
place. What to do? Help!

I guess the others are probably right with their analysis of Hornworm,
but if you live in England it could be Vine Weevil. These slow-moving
beetles come out at night and chomp big sections out of your leaves. And
you can find their larvae in the soil of your pot, big fat white curlicue
grubs. OTOH there is no visible doo doo. So it's more likely to be a
caterpillar.


The semi circular holes are so indicative of Vine Weevil, but that's in
Europe.

Bob, we ARE in Europe. I live in Wiltshire and I have vine weevils
especially in my Primulus plants, also in any pots that have been around for
a year or so. I occasionally find the slow-moving beetles themselves in my
house, where they have come out of the soil of house plants that have stood
outside for a few months in the summer.

These weevils come in through garden centres which import plants from
everywhere.
