I don't know what those green caterpillar looking things are, but they're starting to anger me! They're bad this year for some reason. You can't see them, so you don't even know they're there until they've totally stripped a branch of all of it's leaves. :mad:

This summer, we came back from a weeks vacation and they had totally stripped two of my cherry tomato plants.

Grrrrrrrr.................

Yes! Ugly things.

I did a search and apparently they suggest just picking them off and cutting them in half.

YUK!

Those hungry bastards will wipe out an entire 'mater garden in a matter of hours.

Literally.

Show no mercy. Kill them. Hard.

Oh, and just to make it a little more insulting - they'll leave turds - made of your 'mater plants - all over the place, too.

If'n you tardbillies would just buy your produce at the store, this wouldn't be a problem.

Oh, like you can get fresh tomato goodness from anything bought at the store!

'Tomato' and 'goodness' are two words that simply don't belong together.

Blech.
