   Critter eats your mater….

   You eat the critter….

   Seems fair to me. Need me to mail you some hot sauce?

   If it’s a tomato hornworm, good luck with that, although they are big enough to eat. Creepy-crawlies…

   Will you be showing us the interesting bits and bobs to be used for it’s destruction? :)

   When the weather isn’t so bloody hot and I HAVE tomatoes, the big problem is mockingbirds; damn things just love to eat into one side of one.

   Which wouldn’t be so bad if they’d completely finish that one before poking a hole in another.

   I had the same problem Firehand.

   And then I noticed the problem reducing.

   And then my cats stopped eating very much, one of whom has scabs on his head.

   Sunday, I found a mocking bird chick, laying on a bare ground area, dessicated.

   My tomatoes rule.

   I gave up gardening at our VA house when the biggest pests were our four-legged terriers. I had chicken wire around it, but they always managed to get in and sink their teeth into the green tomatoes. Not actually eating them, just causing damage. They never learned that they didn’t actually like them. I think I managed to get one unharmed ripe tomato the whole season. Doggies won that battle. I may try some container gardening at our new Boise, Idaho house. When we eventually get some pups they won’t have unobserved access to the plants.
