Good morning folks. I was out here
working on my tomatoes today and I

00:04.320 --> 00:13.239
noticed something that I don't see that often. I thought I would bring it to your
attention. This is a row of Juliet's. They're doing quite well, except all of a

00:13.239 --> 00:20.940
sudden I see, if you can see this, guess
what? The leaves are stripped off. Quite a

00:20.940 --> 00:26.979
few of them. And then I saw something
I've never seen before. Something has

00:26.979 --> 00:34.740
bored some holes into this plant. Anyway,
when I see leaves gone I automatically

00:34.740 --> 00:39.659
think about the tomato hornworm. And
now this has been clipped off completely

00:39.659 --> 00:44.700
This fence, my garden is enclosed.
There's no, there's no animals coming in

00:44.700 --> 00:49.599
here and snipping off these tomato
leaves. But I did, so I've been looking

00:49.599 --> 00:56.540
for the tomato hornworm. I'm thinking where is it? They're usually really large,
you know, and the ants are more big chunky worms. You can't miss them. You can

00:56.540 --> 01:01.659
just grab them and step on them or
throw them out. I did find, I did find

01:01.659 --> 01:06.540
one little worm in here and, oh never
mind, there's a better one. So what do we

01:06.540 --> 01:12.059
have here? We've got ourselves a worm
just feasting in here on the tomato too

01:12.059 --> 01:17.379
Okay, there's one and then there's
another small one here. Where is he in

01:17.379 --> 01:35.660
the camera? Let me just back out a second here. Oh there he is.
And by the way, when you see this little stuff, kind of on some

01:35.660 --> 01:41.620
leaves, that's poop. That's some sort of
insect poop. It's around here. So these

01:41.620 --> 01:45.819
little clues, just pay attention to them.
I'm going to probably have to put out

01:45.819 --> 01:51.059
some insecticide, which I almost never
do on tomatoes. But when it's called for

01:51.059 --> 01:59.779
it's called for. So that's the story
today. Missing leaves, holes in the plant

01:59.779 --> 02:07.739
and a board in tomato. So time for some
insecticide and hope you have a good day

02:07.739 --> 02:13.339
Hope you don't see this in your garden.
You know, happy gardening. Bye-bye
