I had hoped that once we'd pulled off the two dozen or so earlier in the season that would be the last we'd see of them, but no such luck. I even found a pupa in the dirt while we were relocating frames. Since we have no desire to let that particular lifecycle continue - hey, it's our tomatoes or them - we got rid of it. I planted some garlic last year, but the soil was very poor. It got to a certain point and then just froze its growth, and we got zero return on that bunch. I'd really like to see a good harvest this time around, with the better growing conditions. I suppose we'll see next spring. Lucky you.

I've never found one on my tomatoes! Have you tried growing garlic here in Florida before? Great looking beds and picture of the hornworm… I’ve never found one on my tomatoes!
