Help, hornworms!!!!!!!!
I hope no one feels this is out of place in this group. Here's a link to
two lovely poems written about hornworms by Stanley Kunitz, who died this past May at the age of 100. He was a pulitzer prize winner and was twice the US poet laureate, and he was an avid gardener. The link also shows pictures of a hornworms in two phases: one as is being discussed in this thread, and the other toward the end of its life. (There's also a photo of the poet.) The poems are Hornworm: A Summer Reverie, and Hornworm: An Autumn Lamentation. http://p216.ezboard.com/fthearcadian...ID=966. topic Enjoy, helco "cathych" wrote in message ups.com... Every year I am beseiged by tomato hornworms. This year I faithfully used diamotateous earth, thinking that of course, this would eradicate the problem. Well, several days ago, my cherry tomatoes, my peppers, (all different kinds), as well as my larger tomatoes were full of blooms, really loving the hot rainy weather. Today I went out & checked for any developing cucumbers, & guess what? All of the blooms had been EATEN entirely, there is not a single one of them left. How can I get rid of these things once & for all? I have been changing out my potting soil entirely each growing season, thinking that this might have been the problem, but apparently they are living somewhere. |
