Garden Days


The warm days are helping the tomatoes to grow. And so are the hornworms! I am having a terrible time finding the elusive creatures. They blend in so well among the leaves and stems. I see the damage they cause and I see the "frass" that they leave behind. But it's rare to see one. I stalk the rows, with scissors in hand, looking to eradicate them all, but it's usually a fruitless venture. Anyone know a better way?

Here's a picture of some tomatoes, eggplants, crookneck squash and banana peppers. The yellow tomatoes, "Atchoyka", are Russian heirlooms and quite tasty.
