Tomato Horn Worms

[funmudder]

All need to die.

Tell me how you got them out of your garden/yard.

Please :cry

[icebear]

pick them off and toss them into a plastic baggie, then zip it and toss....

[icebear]

have the boys do it...?

[funmudder]

I've cleared them out once this year...this is a new crop?

[icebear]

i think they can happen all year, they have a pretty fast cycle

Would you believe I have dill all over just because of that LOL? I can't grow it in a container, but in the dirt my dill thrives :lol2

I just found the buggers in my maple trees too :rant

[funmudder]

Can I till my container dirt :hmmm

This is a good time to demonstrate the Viking Funeral. Douse them with something flammable and light a match. That's what I did and a good time was had by all.

Don't you just hate those things?
