Can you see it? We have these terrible HUGE caterpillars all over the garden. Oh well, it is about time to pull it all up anyway. I'd like to plant a fall/winter garden with greens and spinach, but I have so many bugs in this little garden plot, I'm not sure it would be very successful. These caterpillars are tomato hornworms, by the way. If they turned into a decent butterfly or something I would keep them for a science project, but they bore underground and come out a pretty nasty looking moth, so I think we are going to pull 'em off and smash 'em. Gross. Good project for the kids.
