The Dreaded Tomatoes Hornworm. A story in Photos.
We inspected the garden and found caterpillar droppings.
We found a Hornworm egg on one of the leafs.
A baby Hornworm caterpillar. We caught him young!
He did some damage before we got him.
It only takes a few caterpillars will do a lot of damage if left unchecked. Glad we found him.
Ever had a problem with tomato hornworms? Let me know in the comments!

Well looks like you might have to use the method Zac used last year!
That looks "a lot funner". LOL.
"If your not solving all of your problems with a bullet, your just not doing it right" Haha, LOL ;)
I remember that instance that my father saw those insects that is always seen on pepper leaves. He bought Malathion, made a solution of half of the 60mL bottle in a bucket and started applying like drizzling water in a single pepper plant.
I was so furious because the smell fumigated the whole house. I mean the whole point of planting in the backyard was to avoid pesticides but my father without thinking about it just wasted money with that pesticide, nearly poisoned us, and I don't know what happened to the pepper plant.
Plus he is a plant whacker, plants don't survive much when he is caring for them. He killed my Passion fruit vine too :/ @ironshield
Short-cuts in gardening usually do not go well. It takes some effort, but we're inspecting the garden every day and plucking off the worms when we see them. They hide so well!

I’ve found babies like that in fresh cannabis bud before!
Probably had to use a ladder, those worms were probably very high. 😀

Nice 😆 The little stoner tried to bite my finger he was so mad about being disturbed, no joke
Disgusting Green Cockroaches. For a second I thought you were about to show pictures of worms in side your Tomatoes.
