Eeeeeeyaaaah!

Here is a tomato hornworm, which not a worm, of course, but a caterpillar. A very LARGE caterpillar, as evidenced in the hold your editor has on it, under Farmer John’s sharp but unpictured eye. If you picked up your produce Sunday before last, you may have met this worm where John had it set out for show and tell later in the day.

If not, then you probably didn’t see one, as Farmer John applied Spinosad that Sunday night to reassert the members’ desire for the tomatoes. Spinosad, as you can read for yourself, is a means of controlling pests which is also responsible and is approved for organic use.
