Default first tomato worm

of the season. yesterday. Ma had already
gone out and looked, but since i was working
in the fenced gardens getting the garlic out
i was right there. so i took a few moments
to scan.

only saw signs on one plant, took me another
three attempts to find the worm itself as it
was getting later and it had already retreated
down the stem.

quite a large bugger.

which makes me wonder, because i usually
don't find them until they are large enough
to show up by eating the tops and ends, but
surely they've done a lot of damage by then
to get so big. why am i not seeing them
sooner?

probably because i rarely look under the
plants. if i did i'd probably catch them
sooner by seeing piles of droppings...

ah, well, ...
