Garden casualty

Lost: One flowering tomato plant.
Found: One tomato hornworm.

Luckily, I found the caterpillar before it had moved on to the other plants in my row of pots. Luckily, I found the caterpillar before six cousins came over so they could experience the excitement and horror of the monstrous hornworm. Luckily, I now know that The Very Hungry Caterpillar is a non-fiction work.

oh yah. My least favorite part of that book is when the caterpillar eats through a big green leaf and feels much better. So sad for the tomato plant.
