Found my first tomato hornworm today.  Couldn't find his relatives though so
I'll have to keep a look out.  I've been lucky that the grasshoppers haven't
done much damage yet.  Must be too many weeds around here to keep them busy.
I think the heat is my biggest problem right now.

Last month I thought I was going to have mega problems with hornworms!  We
had hornworms by the hundreds out in the pasture but they were a different
variety and never touched my tomatoes or peppers.  I tried looking them up
but there were to many to go through.  They did devour one of the weeds in
the pasture though!  You couldn't walk without stepping on them.  They've
all burrowed and are morphing now  so I haven't seen them for about 2 weeks.
Love the moths but not so fond of the caterpillars!

Take care,
Lora
