Ew! Totally Gross.

The wasps took over the side yard tonight, so I was viewing the tomatillos from inside when all of a sudden I let out a gasp and scream. Chris came running. The goosebumps rose to the surface and I stammered out, "THAT IS BY FAR THE NASTIEST, GROSSEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN!"

My friends, our garden has been invaded by tomato horn worms.

This is the actual culprit at work.
These nasty things were nearly 3-4" long. I made Chris go out and grab them with the BBQ tongs, and drown them in soapy water.

This guy and his buddy met their match tonight, but I wonder if we'll find more in the dark when we do our nightly hunt.

EWWWWWWWWW!
