Default I really hate bugs

last year was not bad for tomato hornworms,
the year before we had about 25, this season
we have not had any so far, but will start
looking. usually we haven't seen them until
the first few weeks of August, but with you
two writing about them i'll have to go out
and take a closer look tomorrow morning to
be sure. i looked them over pretty good
(for poo sign) yesterday and didn't see
any chewed leaves or poo nuggets on the
ground (another easy way to find them also
if you have bare earth under the plants
instead of mulch) but a second look is
worth it.


Those small Horn Worms can produce rather large Poo Nuggets, but look at
how much one bug can eat
