Horn worm

 
I have the dreaded tobacco worm on my tomatoe plants. They destroy the leaves of the plant. I found 4 yesterday and 3 more this morning. They are ugly worms and I found out by putting them in the chicken pen the chickens will not eat them.
They are easy to find in the cool of the morning, just look for missing leaves on your plants and soon you will see this bright hugh worm on the plant. Pick it off and stomp it into the ground.
The name is the Horn worm but we all ways called them tobacco worms. Posted by Picasa

I used to have a dog that would pick those worms off and eat them! I used to think I should rent him out to gardeners. Those wedding photos were really nice - Carmon

Patsy...I will give you my land below Fleta if you want to move.
It would be work...to get all the
water and stuff hooked up...but if
you want it. I will freely give it
to you.

the truth is I am going to make my next move to heaven and I don't think living below fleta would be heaven, do you sisters?

No, it would not be heaven, she would be there when you "crossed
over". teehee. Well, she will probably be there no matter where you live.
