Attack of the giant worms



Today I came home and noticed that most of the leaves were missing off of my tomatoes. I was perplexed as to where the leaves had gone. There were no leaves on the ground. I just asked myself, "who would have done this to my tomatoes?"

I was only seconds from blaming the kid next door when I noticed some well camouflaged visitors. Maybe some of you are familiar with these giant worms, but I ,for one, have never seen anything like it. They had eaten until they were lethargic and immobile.




After getting E to check them out, I pulled them off one by one and took them to the neighbors garden.........just kidding, I took them to the empty field and let them have they're way with a young sweet gum tree. I guess that organic gardening is much more difficult than I thought.
