Tomato Monster

by on 17/08/10 at 7:39 am

I thought my son was a tomato monster, until I met this guy…

He ate my ENTIRE tomato plant, all he left was the stem! I think I am going to start using Topsy Turvy and planting my garden upside down to keep critters like this away! Any other suggestions for keeping tomato hornworms (and other tomato loving insects) away?
